EXAM 2 LATEST UPDATED ACTUAL
2026 2027 EXAM WITH COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS PLUS RATIONALES
[UPDATED VERSION] NEW BRAND
Questions 26–50
Radiation Physics & Image Production
26. Increasing SID from 40 inches to 72 inches will
require:
A. Decreasing mAs
B. Increasing mAs
, C. Lowering kVp
D. Increasing filtration
Answer: B
Rationale: Increasing distance reduces beam intensity
per the inverse square law, requiring increased mAs to
maintain receptor exposure.
27. The line focus principle allows for:
A. Larger actual focal spot
B. Smaller effective focal spot
C. Increased scatter
D. Decreased tube heat
Answer: B
Rationale: The angled anode creates a smaller
effective focal spot for improved spatial resolution.
28. Beam restriction devices primarily function to:
A. Increase beam energy
B. Limit field size
C. Increase density
D. Reduce focal spot size
