Questions and Answers

What is one major issue with conventional X-ray imaging?

  • It requires the use of radioactive materials.
  • It provides excellent depth perception.
  • Structures overlap and are difficult to distinguish. (correct)
  • It captures images in three dimensions.
  • How does conventional X-ray imaging represent the thickness of the body?

  • By enhancing the depth of field.
  • By using multiple angles of projection.
  • By removing overlapping structures.
  • By compressing layers into a single projection. (correct)
  • What does the projection in conventional X-ray imaging lead to in terms of visual clarity?

  • Clear distinction of bones from other tissues.
  • Enhanced color differentiation.
  • Increased clarity of soft tissues.
  • Loss of information about depth. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Conventional X-Ray Imaging Limitations

    • X-rays project the entire body thickness onto a single image.
    • Structures often overlap, making distinction difficult.
    • Depth information is lost in the projection.
