Q

is determined by the size of filament, thus when one chooses the size of the focal spot, he/she is actually choosing the size of the filament

A

focal spot size

23
Q

0.5mm to 0.6mm

A

small focal spot

24
Q

1mm to 1.2mm

A

large focal spot

25
Q

in choosing a small focal spot, heat will be concentrated to a small area and cause the filament to _____

A

in choosing a small focal spot, heat will be concentrated to a small area and cause the filament to BUST

26
Q

the closer the object to the image receptor the ______ the image

A

the closer the object to the image receptor the SHARPER the image

27
Q

the longer the SID, the _______the image

A

the longer the SID, the SHARPER the image

28
Q

the use of Intensifying screen results to _____ detail image

A

the use of Intensifying screen results to POOR detail image

29
Q

when very long exposure time is used there is a greater probability that motion will be caught on the radiograph

A

time

30
Q

results when the patient moves during exposure

A

movement of patient

31
Q

motion when caught on the radiograph results to visible blurring of the image called motion _____________

A

motion when caught on the radiograph results to visible blurring of the image called motion UNSHARPNESS

32
Q

usually happens when there is malfunction in the Bucky tray that it moves with the movement of grid during exposure

A

movement of image receptor

33
Q

distance from the anatomical part being imaged to the image receptor

A

OID

34
Q

↓ OID = _ magnification = _ image blur = ↑ recorded detail
↑ OID = _ magnification = _ image blur = ↓ recorded detail

A

↓ OID = ↓ magnification = ↓ image blur = ↑ recorded detail
↑ OID = ↑ magnification = ↑ image blur = ↓ recorded detail

35
Q

distance from the source of radiation (usually anode in the xray tube) to the image receptor

A

SID

36
Q

↑ SID = _ magnification = _ image blur = ↑ recorded detail
↓ SID = _ magnification = _ image blur = ↓ recorded detail

A

↑ SID = ↓ magnification = ↓ image blur = ↑ recorded detail
↓ SID = ↑ magnification = ↑ image blur = ↓ recorded detail

37
Q

↑ focal spot size = _ unsharpness

A

↑ focal spot size = ↑ unsharpness

38
Q

effective or projected focal spot size is always smaller than the actual focal spot

A

line focus principle

39
Q

use of small focal spot = ↑ recorded detail = _ heat at the anode

A

use of small focal spot = ↑ recorded detail = ↑ heat at the anode

40
Q

↓ FSS = ↓ area of x-ray production = ↓ image blur = _ recorded detail

A

↓ FSS = ↓ area of x-ray production = ↓ image blur = ↑ recorded detail

41
Q

↑ FSS = ↑ area of x-ray production = ↑ image blur = _ recorded detail

A

↑ FSS = ↑ area of x-ray production = ↑ image blur = ↓ recorded detail

42
Q

↑ motion = ↑ blur = _ recorded detail

A

↑ motion = ↑ blur = ↓ recorded detail

43
Q
