Exam 3: Image Formation and Radiographic Quality

Which of the following artifacts are common to both film-screen and digital imaging? 1)Jewelry covering part of the anatomy being imaged 2)Fog due to scatter 3)Quantum noise/mottle

_____ results in the process of image formation,whereby the x-ray beam interacts with the anatomic tissue,and a portion of the beam passes through the part and strikes the image receptor.

The abdomen has low subject contrast.

Size distortion is affected by: 1)SID. 2)OID. 3)tube angulation.

Unwanted exposure to the IR due to scatter radiation is called:

The ability of an image receptor to distinguish between objects with similar subject contrast is:

An increase in noise on the radiographic image:

During attenuation of the x-ray beam,the photoelectric effect is responsible for the total absorption of the incoming x-ray photon.
