RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST UPDATED
SCRIPT 2026 PRACTICE SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
● ________ is the local processing function of renumbering pixel values
for an entire image domain.
A) The look-up table (LUT)
B) The histogram
C) Equalization
D) Windowing Answer: D
Windowing renumbers pixel values across the image domain.
● The ________ detector consists of a thin-film transistor array.
A) flat-panel
B) photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP)
C) charge coupled device (CCD)
D) complementary metal-oxide semidonductor (CMOS) Answer: A
Both indirect and direct flat panel detectors contain a thin-film transistor
array. The TFT is involved in
charge readout when voltage is applied to the pixels.
,● All of the following are regarded as special considerations when
establishing technique charts EXCEPT:
A) radiographer skill.
B) patient age.
C) casts.
D) contrast media. Answer: A
● A technologist notices that a co-worker selects exposure factors for a
patient's examination that are much
higher than indicated by department protocol or technique charts. The
technologist should:
A) defer to a more senior technologist's experience and do not say
anything.
B) go immediately to the department supervisor and suggest an
investigation.
C) talk to the technologist about why those exposure factors were chosen
and express concern about overexposing the
patient.
D) express concern to other technologists in the department. Answer: C
● Which of the following is FALSE about the laboratory value GFR?
A) GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate.
B) GFR is calculated from the results of a blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
test.
, C) GFR estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli of the
kidney.
D) GFR is a measure of kidney function and estimation of degree of
kidney disease. Answer: B
● Until a photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) is processed, electrons
freed upon irradiation are stored in
the:
A) valence band.
B) photodetector.
C) conduction band.
D) conductive layer. Answer: C
● A 55-year-old woman is in the radiology department for a barium
enema. She is anxious about the
examination and says that she heard it is "painful and horrible." The
technologist should communicate
with the patient by: 1. using medical and technical terminology when
explaining the procedure. 2.
keeping explanations simple and truthful. 3. using eye contact and an
empathetic tone when explaining
the procedure.
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
