The "unseen" image that is contained in the image receptor Latent image
(IR) before it is processed is called the:
The radiation that exits the body in all directions and causes Scattered
unwanted exposure on the image receptor (IR) as well as
anyone who is in the room is called __________ radiation.
The radiation that exits the x-ray tube and travels in-air to Primary
the patient is called:
The boxlike device attached under the tube housing that Collimator
allows the limited operator to vary the size of the radiation
field is called the:
