Scatter radiation increases subject contrast.

Which interaction between x-ray photons and matter involves a partial transfer of the incident photon energy in which the resulting energy of the scattered photon has been modified?

The anode heel effect is worsened with all of the following except:

Find SID if OID is 8″ and SOD is 32″.

_____________ is produced any-where outside of the focal spot when projectile electrons scatter and strikes the glass envelope, the cathode, or other portions of the anode.

Standard x-ray tubes have an anode bevel in the range of:

__________ is a shape distortion in which the length of the image in the direction of the tube angle measures longer than that of the real object.

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.
