Exam 8: Image Production

What refers to the range of exposure intensities an image receptor can accurately detect?

The secondary photon that results from the photoelectric interaction

Differential absorption occurs because different tissues have varying amounts of

Transmission refers to

Another name for remnant radiation is

Increasing the thickness of the part being imaged results in

At higher kilovoltages within the diagnostic range

A low-kilovoltage x-ray beam results in

A digital imaging system that displays a greater number of shades of gray has better contrast resolution.

The photoelectric interaction involves removal of

Less than __ of the primary beam entering the part reaches the image receptor.

Chemical processing is used to create the manifest image in
