Answer the following question with short concise answers. List two types of immobilization devices that will aid in preventing motion on a radiograph AND how they are used: (2 pts)

Fill in the blanks with the correct word(s) to complete each statement. (1 pt. each) The _________ marker is used when marking an RAO. (1 point) Explain where the marker is placed on the cassette in reference to the patient and the IR. (2 pts)

If the statement is true, type “true” and “false” if it is false. (2 pts. each) CORRECT ANY FALSE STATEMENTS!!! The intensity at the anode end is lower because fewer photons emerge from the end of the tube than at the cathode end.

Technical considerations for abdominal imaging of obese patients include all of the following 1. increasing kV will increase the penetrability of the photons 2. increasing kV will increase the amount of scatter radiation directed toward the IR 3. decrease in mAs will increase in the amount of scatter radiation directed toward the IR 4. decrease kV will increase in the penetration of the photons

State the mAs maintenance formula and explain when this formula should be used (2 points each)

An area of anatomy that has low contrast is the:

If the statement is true, type “true” and “false” if it is false. Correct the False Statements. (2 point each) Angling the x-ray beam or the part will result in shape distortion.

With digital receptors, the consistent use of higher than necessary exposure indexes has what effect on patient dose?

Which of the following affect radiographic contrast?

Explain exposure indexes. (example high and low). (2 pts)
