,Practice Questions (21 Questions)
1. The term “anteroposterior (AP) projection” means the central ray passes:
A. From the back to the front of the patient
B. From the front to the back of the patient
C. Laterally across the patient
D. Obliquely at a 45° angle
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: AP projection indicates the X-ray beam enters anteriorly (front) and exits
posteriorly (back).
2. Radiographic positioning refers to:
A. The placement of the body and image receptor for imaging
B. Exposure factors only
C. Patient medical history
D. Interpretation of the image
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Proper positioning ensures accurate visualization of anatomy with minimal
distortion.
3. The term “lateral projection” means:
A. The central ray passes from side to side
B. From front to back
C. From back to front
D. Obliquely
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lateral projections demonstrate structures perpendicular to the AP/PA view.
4. The smallest unit of the digital image sensor is called a:
A. Pixel
B. Voxel
C. Matrix
D. Photon
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pixel is the smallest picture element in a 2D digital image; a voxel is 3D.
, 5. Radiographic density refers to:
A. The degree of blackening on the image
B. Bone mineral content
C. Soft tissue thickness
D. Patient weight
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Density is influenced by exposure factors and tissue absorption.
6. Contrast in radiography describes:
A. The difference in density between adjacent structures
B. Overall brightness of the image
C. Magnification
D. Image sharpness
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Contrast allows visualization of anatomical detail.
7. Magnification of an object occurs when:
A. The object is farther from the image receptor
B. The object is closer to the image receptor
C. The central ray is perpendicular
D. Collimation is reduced
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Increased object-to-IR distance enlarges the image.
8. Spatial resolution is:
A. The ability to distinguish small structures
B. The number of exposures
C. Patient comfort
D. X-ray tube output
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Higher resolution allows finer detail visualization.
