The X-ray beam is generated in the generator.
True
Soft tissues look more radiopaque on the radiograph than fluids.
True
99% of the energy released in the x-ray tube is heat and light.
True
The mas describes the strength (penetration power) of the x-ray beam.
False
The grid helps to improve the image sharpness.
True
Radiation can be doubled by using doubled mAs value.
True
DR systems use a laser scanner to read the phosphor plate.
False
Steps of film processing 1 developing 2)washing 3)fixing 4)drying.
False
Overexposed digital x-ray images are too dark.
True
In thoracic radiography the exposure time is 1/30th second or less.
True
Decreasing the film-object distance results in a sharper image.
True
In the digital radiography, the use of a grid can be substituted by a good acquisition software.
True
The grid absorbs not only the scattered radiation.
False
In analog technology, too light images can be corrected by decreasing the exposure values.
False
The grid is located in the tube side of the cassette.
False
