The typical range of anode bevel angles for general purpose diagnostic x-ray tubes is:

In order to utilize the anode heel effect in the radiographer’s advantage, the _________ anatomy should be placed under the ________ side of the x-ray tube.

T/F: Field size limitation serves the purpose of minimizing radiation exposure to the patient, as well as improving subject contrast in the remnant x-ray beam.

If an object measures 12 inches and the image measures 15 inches, what is the percent of magnification?

A change from a large field of view of 14×17″ to a small field of view of 10×12″ will require an _______ in mAs to compensate for the total IR exposure.

In digital radiography, there is an algorithm that can reduce the visual effects of the anode heel effect.  This algorithm is called:

The size of the projected (effective) focal spot is controlled by all of the following except:

In addition to the regional/unit exams, you will have all of the following assignments except:

If the radiographer is unable to achieve a short OID because of the patient’s body habitus, which of the following adjustments can be made to minimize magnification distortion?

An object is projected using a SID of 180cm and a SOD of 135cm. If the projected image measures 20cm in length, how big must the object have been?
