Mock Final Exam-General Core of
Radiography (limited Range)
Questions and Correct Answers 2026-
2027
shortest possible exposure time - correct answer: the minimum response time of an automatic
exposure control (AEC) (also called photo timing)
inherent filtration (built in) - correct answer: together, the filtering effect of the x-ray tube's
glass envelope and its oil coolant are referred to as:
periodic checks for cracks - correct answer: proper care of leaded aprons includes:
thermionic emission - correct answer: the source of electrons with the x-ray tube is a result of:
underexposed radiographic image - correct answer: inadequate collimation when using the AEC
often results in:
extends x-ray tube life - correct answer: low MAs/high KVP exposure factors, avoiding lengthy
anode rotation, avoiding exposures to a cold anode
tube current, target material - correct answer: the total number of x-ray photons produced at
the target is contingent upon:
filament circuit - correct answer: in which of the following portions of the x-ray circuit is a step-
down transformer located?
, grid - correct answer: what's the device that is used to absorb scattered radiation produced in
the patient before it reaches the IR?
acts as an additional filter, reduce tube output, resulting in arcing and tube puncture - correct
answer: as the x-ray tube filament ages, it becomes progressively thinner due to evaporation.
The vaporized tungsten is frequently deposited on the window of the glass envelope. This may:
overexposure, over development - correct answer: a film emerging from the automatic
processor exhibits excessive density. This may be attributed to:
ejects an inner shell tungsten electron - correct answer: in the production of characteristic
radiation at the tungsten target, the incoming electron:
target angle effects - correct answer: severity of the heel effect, focal spot size, heat load
capacity
characteristics of the x-ray tube - correct answer: target material has a high atomic number and
melting point, useful beam at port window, cathode assembly receives both low and high
voltages.
thermionic emission - correct answer: NOT associated with the anode.
rectifiers - correct answer: in order to be used more efficiently by the x-ray tube, alternating
current is changed to direct current by the:
leakage radiation - correct answer: radiation that passes through the tube housing in directions
other than that of the useful beam is termed?
Tungsten alloy - correct answer: has high atomic number and melting point, can readily
dissipate heat. (usual choice for target material in equipment)
