COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
DETAILED SOLUTIONS |PRE-EVALUATED A+
What is the correct term used to describe an intravenous injection of a concentrated
volume of contrast media?
a. bolus
b. infusion
c. extravasation
d. luminal a. bolus
Which of the following methods utilizes a detector that captures x-ray energy and
converts it into an electronic signal?
a. indirect capture
b. CCD
c. cassette based radiography
d. direct capture d. direct capture
,The energy of a characteristic x-ray photon created when an L shell electron fills a K
shell vacancy in a tungsten atom will have which of the following energies?
a. 69.5 keV
b. 57.5 keV
c. 91.5 keV
d. 12 keV b. 57.5 keV
The energy of characteristic photons is determined by the difference in binding
energies between the two electron shells involved in the process, which in this
question are K and L shells. 69.5 (K shell) minus 12 (L shell) equals 57.5.

a. recumbent LPO
b. supine
c. recumbent RPO
d. prone d. prone

sinus? PA

descending colon during a lower GI exam? left lateral decubitus
,Which projection of the wrist will best demonstrate the interspaces of the carpal
bone? AP

methods?
a. a cassette that is electronically charged
b. conventional film/screen processing
c. the use of a storage phosphor
d. nonne of the above c. the use of a storage phosphor

a. Adenocard
b. Intropin
, c. Lasix
d. Decadron d. Decadron
If the improper body part is selected from the exam menu, which of the following may
result?
a. there will be no image
b. there may be image misinterpretation
c. will exhibit proper contrast and density
d. image sharpness will not be affected b. there may be image misinterpretation
Which of the following combinations are needed in digital radiography system to
produce an image?
a. intensifying screen & TFT
b. x-ray absorber & CCD
c.. storage phosphor plate & CCD
d. storage phosphor plate & TFT b. x-ray absorber & CCD
Exposure latitude is also known as which of the following?
a. dynamic range
b. spatial resolution
c. subject contrast
d. characteristic response a. dynamic range
All of the following components are within the glass/metal enclosure of the x-ray tube
except...
a. anode
