Quiz Flashcards
as the tube is angled more (cephalic or caudal) the elongation effect increases
Increased Angulation
the central ray must e perpendicular to both the image receptor
Proper Alignment
size distortion increases as OID increases
Object-to-image Distance
size distortion decreases as SID increases
Source-to-image Distance
when object is farther from the image receptor the xray diverge more before reaching the receptor
OID object to image distance
increasing the distance between the xray source and the image receptor reduces the divergence of the xray beam
SID source to image distance
decreased ___ causes more divergence of the beam
SID
decreased ___ minimizes magnification and produces a more accurate representation
OID
the duration of the exposure directly influences motion blur
Time of Exposure
during exposure voluntary or involuntary causes blurring which decreased image detail
Patient Movement
