Exam 8: Image Production

Scatter radiation that reaches the image receptor creates

A high-energy beam results in

Imaging a thicker part results in

Tissue that is more dense results in

Fluoroscopy produces dynamic imaging by using __________________ equipment.

The various shades of gray or brightness created on the radiographic image

In producing a radiographic image, which of the following occurs first?

With the photoelectric interaction, after the incident photon ejects an inner-shell electron, the energy of the photon is

In producing a radiographic image, which of the following occurs last?

Scattering in the diagnostic range is due to

Scattered and secondary radiation must be eliminated during radiographic imaging.

The process of differential absorption for image formation is different depending on the type of imaging system.

Production of a static or still image is associated with

Place the following digital imaging steps in the correct order, from beginning to end: I remnant radiation reaches the digital image receptor II the manifest image is displayed on a monitor III the manifest image can be adjusted because it is composed of digital data IV the latent image is processed by the computer

Attenuation of the x-ray beam in the diagnostic range is due to

Reduction in the energy or amount of radiation in the primary beam is attenuation.

A digital image is composed of a combination of rows and columns recorded as a:

At higher kilovoltages within the diagnostic range

The latent image that is formed on the image receptor is the

The probability of a Compton interaction is _______________ in bone than soft tissue.
