37
Q

What does increased field size do to subject contrast

A

Decreases - a bigger field size causes more scatter

38
Q

What does a higher part density do to subject contrast

A

Increases - more absorption into one part

39
Q

Can subject contrast be improved by post processing

A

No

40
Q

Does kvp have any effect on image contrast

A

No

41
Q

What does contrast come from

A

LUT

42
Q

Does MAs effect contrast

A

Yes

43
Q

How does mas effect contrast

A

More mas - more contrast

44
Q

how does anode heel effect contrast

A

There’s more contrast on the cathode end - need to collimate - very little effect

45
Q

How does SID effect contrast

A

Increased SID = less contrast

46
Q

How does OID effect contrast

A

Increased OID = decreases contrast UNLESS using air gap technique

47
Q

How does filtration effect contrast

A

Decreases contrast

48
Q

How does increased collimation effect contrast

A

Increases contrast - reduces scatter

49
Q

How does an increased part size effect contrast

A

Decreases contrast - increases scatter

50
Q

How does a grid effect contrast

A

Increases - grids clean up scatter

51
Q

What are the two types of geometric properties

A

Spatial resolution
Distortion

52
Q

What are the names for spatial resolution

A

Q

What are the 3 critical distances we deal with

SOD
SID
OID

How does OID effect resolution

A

Inc OID = decreases resolution - due to penumbra

A

Inside penumbra - inner edge

77
Q

How does motion effect resolution

A

Misrepresentation of the size or shape of the structure

A

Distortion

80
Q

What are types of distortion

A

Magnification
Elongation
Foreshortening

81
Q

Can you magnify & minimize objects on an image

A

No - only magnify

82
Q

How does magnification effect resolution

A

More magnified it is - the less detail you have

83
Q

How does SID effect magnification & detail

A

Increased SID - decreases magnification - increase detail

84
Q

How does OID affect magnification and detail

A

Increased OID - increased magnification - decreased detail

85
Q

How do you calculate size distortion

A

Magnification = SID/SOD

86
Q

Projects object to be longer than appears

A

Elongation

87
Q

Projects object to be shorter than appears

A

Foreshortening

88
Q

When is an object elongated

A

When the tube or IR is improperly aligned

89
Q

When is an object foreshortened

A

Only when the part is improperly aligned

90
Q

Does angulation of the tube affect SID

A

Yes & will cause a decrease in IR exposure
