This comprehensive CAMRT Exam 2026/2027 preparation document contains 150+ exam-style questions and answers covering major concepts relevant to medical radiation technology and radiography examination review. The opening sections concentrate on radiation protection and safety, including operator distance, lead-equivalent shielding, protective gowns and thyroid shields, occupational and public dose limits, primary versus secondary barriers, focal spot-to-skin distances, fluoroscopic air kerma, half-value layer requirements, and radiation protection during interventional procedures. A major portion covers quality control and radiographic equipment, including daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual QC procedures for CR, DR, fluoroscopy, and CT systems. Students review cassette and imaging-plate inspection, retake analysis, CT number accuracy and uniformity, spatial resolution, low-contrast detectability, collimator operation, interlocks, AEC performance, beam filtration, output reproducibility and linearity, exposure-indicator performance, dynamic range, and protective-equipment integrity. The document also addresses focal-spot testing, the line-focus principle, anode angle, grid ratios and grid cutoff, autotransformers, high-voltage generators, rectifiers, cathode filaments, tungsten-rhenium targets, and induction motors. The radiation physics and image-production material reviews Bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation, Compton scatter, photoelectric absorption, differential absorption, attenuation, X-ray quantity and quality, mAs, kVp, SID, filtration, optical density, contrast, scatter production, and inverse-square relationships. Digital imaging topics include CR plate readout, photostimulated luminescence, exposure indicators and histogram analysis, pixel size, bit depth, dynamic range, DQE, direct versus indirect DR, amorphous selenium, cesium iodide, CCDs, photodiodes, TFTs, scintillators, modulation transfer function, fill factor, spatial resolution, and image-intensifier artifacts. The resource also provides extensive radiographic positioning, anatomy, and procedural review. Topics include cervical and lumbar spine positioning, AP coccyx and knee projections, trauma dens positioning, shoulder Y views, skull sutures and landmarks, cranial anatomy, sphenoid sinus projections, vertebral arteries, cardiac valves, branches of the aorta, carpal bones, ERCP, barium-enema positioning, tangential zygomatic arches, vertebroplasty versus kyphoplasty, bone-age examinations, and the vertebral level of tracheal bifurcation. Technique adjustments for plaster casts, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and other imaging situations are also addressed. Patient care and pharmacology form another substantial examination area. The document reviews anaphylactic reactions and emergency response, crash-cart equipment, orthostatic hypotension, patient communication, adrenergic drugs, antiarrhythmics, diuretics, analgesics, opioids, anxiolytics, antihistamines, anticoagulants, thrombolytics, anticholinergic drugs, metformin, and contrast-media considerations. It also addresses mild, moderate, and severe contrast reactions, risk factors associated with contrast-related renal complications, phases of contrast enhancement, vital signs, infection transmission, fomites, and airborne and droplet precautions. This resource is particularly relevant for CAMRT certification candidates, medical radiation technologist students, radiography students, radiologic technology students, X-ray technologists, diagnostic imaging students, clinical radiography trainees, and professionals reviewing for Canadian medical radiation technology examinations. Its broad coverage makes it useful for reviewing radiation protection, imaging physics, digital radiography, equipment and QC, positioning, anatomy, pharmacology, contrast media, infection control, and patient care in one exam-oriented resource. The uploaded document does not state a formal university or course code, so these details are marked as unspecified rather than adding unsupported information.

Questions and Answers |
Already Graded A+



How far away must the operator stand from the xray tube if not covered

with lead? - ANSWER ✔✔3 meters


90% of man made radiation to the population is related to? -

ANSWER ✔✔Medical Radiography and Dental


For each peak xray voltage, what lead equivalent is required?




100kV or less (o-100)

Between 101kV-149kV

,150kV or greater (150+) - ANSWER ✔✔0-100kV = 0.25mm of lead




Greater than 100kV but less then 150kV = 0.35mm of lead




150kV or greater = 0.50mm of lead

What protective equipment is required during interventional procedures -

ANSWER ✔✔Full wrap around protective gowns of 0.50mm pb in the

front panels and 0.25mm pb in the back panels




Thyroid shields with an equivalent of 0.50mm of pb




Lead drapes/curtains mounted to II of 0.25mm of pb at 100kv

What lead equivalent must protective gloves/ gauntlets possess? -

ANSWER ✔✔0.25mm of pb


What lead equivalent must ceiling mounted lead screens and moveable

shields provide? - ANSWER ✔✔0.50mm of pb


What are the annual radiation dose limits for radiation workers? -

ANSWER ✔✔Whole body= 20mSv

,Lens of eye= 150mSv

Skin = 500mSv

Hands = 150mSv

All other organs = 500mSv




For pregnant women an effective dose of 4 mSv must be applied for the

remainder of the pregnancy from all sources

What are the annual radiation dose limits to members of the public? -

ANSWER ✔✔Whole body = 1mSv


Lens of the eye= 15mSv

Skin = 50mSv

Hands = 50mSv

All other organs = 50mSv




*these also apply for students*


What are primary protective barriers? Give examples - ANSWER

✔✔Primary barriers provide shielding from the direct xray beam. Such

as, the walls and floor where the tube can be directed

, -The wall behind the wall bucky

-Floor under the table


What are secondary barriers and give examples - ANSWER

✔✔Provide shielding against both leakage and scattered radiation. Walls

that the primary beam is not directed towards and the ceiling are

secondary barriers.




The control booth is also a secondary barrier, the primary beam should
