16
Q

Amount of blackening on the radiograph.

A

Density

17
Q

Relates directly to the amount of exposure received by the film.

A

Density

18
Q

The blacker the film, the higher the

A

Density

19
Q

Density difference between adjacent areas on the radiograph.

A

Contrast

20
Q

Results from differences in attenuation of the x-ray beam as it passes through various tissues in the body.

A

Contrast

21
Q

Refers to how well one can see small structures on the radiograph.

A

Detail

22
Q

Sharpness of the structural edges of the radiograph (definition).

A

Detail

23
Q

Change in size and/or shape of the object as seen on the radiograph.

A

Distortion

24
Q

Two types of distortion

A
  1. Size distortion (magnification)
  2. Shape distortion ( true distortion)
25
Q

The apparent granular appearance in areas of apparent even density in the radiographic image.

A

Mottle

26
Q

Three types of mottle

A
  1. Film graininess
  2. Structure mottle
  3. Quantum mottle
27
Q

random fluctuation in the density of the image usually inherent in the system.

A

Noise

28
Q

something that detracts the viewer from seeing the true image (signal).

A

Noise

29
Q

Four sources of noise

A
  1. Film graininess
  2. Structure mottle
  3. Quantum mottle
  4. Scatter radiation
