Double the mAs
27
When screen speed goes UP, what happens to light?
More light is given off
28
When screen-speed increases, What happens to receptor exposure?
Receptor Exposure goes UP
29
When you have faster screens, What happens to patient dose?
Decreased Patient Dose
30
When you have faster screens, What happens to detail?
Decreased Detail
31
When you have faster screens, What happens to contrast?
Contrast goes UP
32
When you have faster screens, What happens to radiographic exposure (Density- blackness)?
Receptor Exposure (Density- Blackness) Goes UP
33
What do grids do?
Clean up Scatter
34
More Matter =
More Scatter
35
What is the formula for Grid Ratio?
Grid Ratio = Height of lead strips/ Distance between them
36
What is the number of lead lines per inch or cm?
Grid Frequency
37
When do you use a grid?
When part thickness is greater than 10 cm
38
When given something that is NOT a grid, What do you use? Ex. One grid is replaced by screen speed
Use a NonGrid (1)
39
What is another name for mAs multiplication factor (Bucky Factor)?
Grid Ratio Example: NonGrid = 1, 5:1 Grid = 2, etc
40
When you add or use a grid and no technical adjustment is made, What happens to receptor exposure?
Receptor Exposure Decreases
41

45
What is the grid factor for a 10:1 or 12:1 grid?
5
46
What is the grid factor for a 16:1 grid?
6
47
What is the grid conversion formula?
MAS 1/ mAs 2 = GCF 1/ GCF 2
48
When you increase from a 12:1 grid to a 16:1 grid, What happens?
Increased Patient Dose Increased Contrast because of More Scatter Cleanup
49
What type of factor is Filtration?
Photographic Factor
50
What does Filtration do to the beam?
Hardens the beam by removing low energy photons
51
What does filtration reduce?
Reduces skin exposure to the patient
52
When adding or using filtration, What happens to receptor exposure?
Receptor Exposure Decreases (because you are taking away fro the beam- so receptor exposure goes DOWN)
53
When a body part is thick, What happens to beam attenuation?
Increases Beam Attenuation
54
When you have a thick body part, what happens to receptor exposure?
Receptor Exposure Decreases
55
Z=
Atomic Number
56
A=
Atomic Mass
57
When the atomic number of an object increases, What happens to beam attenuation?
Beam Attenuation Increases
58
When the atomic number increases, What happens to radiographic exposure?
Radiographic Exposure Decreases
59
What is the comparison of the receptor exposure of an object to water?
Specific Gravity
60
When Specific Gravity increases, What happens to Attenuation?
Attenuation Increases
61
When Specific Gravity increases and attenuation increases, What happens to receptor exposure?
Decreases
62
What do additive diseases do to attenuation?
Increase beam attenuation
63
What do additive diseases do to radiographic exposure?
Decrease Radiographic Exposure
64
What do destructive diseases to to attenuation?
Decrease Beam Attenuation
65
What do destructive diseases do to radiographic exposure?
Increase Radiographic Exposure
66
What is another name for collimation/shielding?
Beam Restriction
67
When you remove scatter, What happens to receptor exposure?
Goes Down
68
When you have less tissue being exposed, You have Less?
Fog
69
What is the formula used for adding or removing a Grid?
GCF = mAs with a Grid/ mAs without a Grid
70
What is the formula for Changing Grid Ratio?
MAS 1/ mAs 2 = GCF 1/ GCF 2
71
When you use beam restriction (collimation), The field size?
Decreases (Less Scatter- FOG)
72
When you use beam restriction (collimation/shielding), What happens to radiographic exposure?
Decreases Radiographic Exposure and Reduces Scatter (Better Contrast)
73
What is the difference between cathode and anode?
45%
74
What is differences in the shades of gray?
Contrast
75
What is the only factor that affects receptor exposure?
mAs (only thing mAs affects)
76
Subject Contrast is affected by?
kVp
77
What is the variations in absorbing ability of objects within that part of interest?
Subject Contrast
