The degree of variation between the actual exposure index and the target exposure index is called the:

Which of these statements is true about scattered radiation?1)  Scattered radiation has less energy than primary radiation.2)  Scattered radiation is produced in the x-ray tube.3)  Scattered radiation puts additional energy on the image receptor.4)  Scattered radiation travels in a different direction from primary radiation.5)  Scattered radiation increases radiographic contrast.

Which term best describes the filtration that occurs as the primary beam passes through the glass window of the x-ray tube?

A radiology department’s routine protocol is to complete knee exams with the use of a grid. However, in a portable situation, the technologist does not have a grid and decides to complete the exam without a grid and without making any changes to the technique. How will the image quality change without the use of the grid?

The distance from the object being radiographed to the image receptor is demonstrated on the above image by the letter:
