5 Questions
List four prime exposure factors in radiography.
The four prime exposure factors in radiography are kVp, mA, exposure time, and source-to-image receptor distance (SID).
Why is proper exposure of the patient to x-radiation necessary?
Proper exposure of the patient to x-radiation is necessary to produce a diagnostic radiograph.
What is radiation intensity and how is it measured?
Radiation intensity is measured in mR or mR/mAs.
What does radiation quality refer to and how is it measured?
Radiation quality refers to x-ray beam penetrability, best measured by the half value layer (HVL).
Which factors in radiography are under the control of the Radiologic Technologist?
All factors, except those fixed by the design of the x-ray imaging system, are under the control of the Radiologic Technologist.
Test your knowledge of the principles of imaging and exposure factors used by radiographers. Learn about the key elements such as kVp, mA, exposure time, and source-to-image receptor distance (SID) that contribute to high-quality radiographs. Understand how these factors influence the quantity and quality of x-radiation for diagnostic purposes.
