All of the following are true of computed radiography (CR) EXCEPT

The device that intercepts the exit radiation from a patient and creates the radiographic image is the

As you prepare for an important clinical examination on trauma radiography, a casual friend stops by unexpectedly to tell you she thinks she is about to lose her job. It’s clear she wants to talk to someone, and from your friend’s perspective, you appear to have some time to talk. How would you best handle this situation?

The x-radiation that is “left over” and exits the patient to strike the image receptor and create the image is known as _____ radiation.

The production of x-radiation that occurs in an x-ray tube requires the movement of negatively charged particles traveling from one side of the tube to the other. This movement of charges must occur in

The x-ray tube component that stops the stream of electrons and produces the x-ray beam is called the

One of your classmates consistently gets As on tests and homework, with no apparent effort or study. In talking with him, you discover he has a good strategy for studying that involves

As you process a radiographic image of the abdomen of a small child, you notice a small ringlike object on the image. It appears this object is in the patient’s stomach, which is consistent with the examination history. The ring shows on the x-ray image because of its metallic density. This is the result of

The darkness of a film image is referred to as radiographic density. Given the three sets of mAs calculations that follow, all three should yield the same degree of radiographic density.Exposure 1: 200 mA ´ 0.05 msExposure 2: 100 mA ´ 0.10 msExposure 3: 400 mA ´ 0.025 msThis is known as
