Fluoroscopy Study Guide Questions With Complete
Solutions
(directly/ indirectly) Fluoroscopic x-ray output, and patient dose,
is _______ proportional to the mA used. Correct Answers
directly
(T/F) a warped image occurs due to the curvature of the input
phosphor. This is called pincushion distortion Correct Answers
True
(T/F) An audible signal must be heard when the high level boost
is "on". Correct Answers True
(T/F) Cine films sizes include 16 mm, 35 mm, and 70 mm.
Correct Answers false, 70 mm is for spot film
(T/F) DAP and KAP assesses the absorbed dose risk of an exam
compared with the area irradiated. Correct Answers False, only
DAP does this
(T/F) HLC is a type of fluoroscopy is used for cardiography and
interventional radiography. Correct Answers True
(T/F) patient exposure in cinefluorography is greater than
exposure received with other recording systems such as
videotape recording. Correct Answers True
(T/F) Persons who have been instructed in the safe operation of
fluoroscopic equipment must demonstrate competency at their
, place of employment before they can operate fluoro equipment
Correct Answers True
(T/F) Radiographers may use fluoro equipment only under the
supervision of a Fluoroscopy Supervisor and Operator. Correct
Answers True
(T/F) The 6" II mode is considered the magnification mode and
this uses more exposure to compensate for the overall decreased
brightness of the image and lower overall quality Correct
Answers True
(T/F) the circuit that interfaces with the x-ray generator to adjust
the kVp and mA:
1. is known as Automatic Brightness Control, Automatic
Exposure Control or Automatic Exposure Rate Control (T or F)
2. keeps the light output constant and stable to the II output
phosphor (T or F) Correct Answers Both True
(T/F) The fluoroscopy supervisor shall document, in writing,
clinical training completion documents to all certified radiologic
technologists in California who have successfully completed the
competency based clinical education for the facility where they
utilize fluoroscopy Correct Answers True
(T/F) when comparing a 9" II mode to a 6" II mode, the 9" mode
is used to view a larger anatomic area and is considered the
regular non-magnification mode. Correct Answers True
