Technologists can assist the exposure field recognition process when making multiple exposures on one IR by1. masking the unused portion of the IR with lead sheets.2. ensuring the body part is centered within each exposure field.3. increasing the distance between exposure fields.4. maintaining equidistance and keeping collimation parallel with the edge of the IR.

Causes of grid cutoff, when using focused reciprocating grids, include which of the following? 1. inadequate SID 2. x-ray tube off-center with the long axis of the lead strips 3. angling the beam in the direction of the lead stripes

As a radiographer, you are using a DR system that displays EI#’s as part of the DICOM header. The EI#s are calculated as directly proportional and linear to exposure. The image you have created shows marginal quantum noise and an EI# of 1400. The exposure technique you used was 85 kVp@ 15 mAs. To improve image quality and eliminate the objectionable noise, your next step should be to
