Ex. cone, collimator Radiation field - area exposed to x-rays based on size and shape of the collimater beam restrictors contrast - scatter radiation - X-rays scattered back in the direction of the incident X-ray beam. chemical safety - contrast - difference in density between any 2 adjacent portions of the image. upright cassette holder - a vertical device to hold cassette and /or grid contrast resolution - The ability to distinguish very small differences in tissue densities 3100% Pass Guarantee Sophia Bennett, All Rights Reserved © 2025 X-ray beam - divergent/conical shape of penetrating, ionizing electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength much shorter than that of visible light CR (computed radiography) - one of the 2 types of digital imaging systems.
