RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING AND EXPOSURE EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS % CORRECT.
More effect answer >> A zebra pattern artifact that can occur during computed
radiography imaging if the grid frequency is similar to the laser scanning
frequency or if a grid cassette is placed in a Bucky.
Using a SID outside of focal range creates. answer >> A loss of exposure at the
periphery of the IR
Grid cutoff is also called answer >> Lateral decentering
How does grid cutoff occur? answer >> Angling the grid or angling the X-ray tube
Off focus grid cutoff occurs when. answer >> The SID is outside the
recommended focal range.
How to you calculate grid ratio? answer >> Height divided by width of interspace
How do you calculate grid conversion factor? answer >> GCF = mas with grid /
mas without grid
Increased grid ratio affects what 3 factors? answer >> Increased contrast, patient
dose increases, the likelihood of grid cutoff increases.
