The photoelectric effect is more likely to occur with  1. absorbers having a high Z number 2. high energy incident photons 3. positive contrast media

An ionization chamber connected to an electrometer is a device that can measure

Why is a question concerning the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer?1. Because the received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure2. Because the scientific units for radiation dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient3. Because the patient should not receive any information about radiation dose

Radiation that passes through the tube housing in directions other than that of the useful beam is termed

THe production of x-ray photons by the sudden deceleration of high speed electrons is termed:

Calculation of equivalent dose (EqD) requires: 1. absorbed dose  2. type of radiation 3. tissue exposed

Which of the following terms is correctly used to describe x-ray beam quality?

The interaction between x-ray photons and tissue that can impact radiographic contrast but that contributes significantly to patient dose is

What should be the radiographer’s main objective regarding personal radiation safety?

The control dosimeter/monitor records background radiation received during 1. storage 2. handling 3. transportation
