CAMRT - X-ray Production and Imaging
Principles Exam Questions and Answers with
Verified Solutions | Latest Updated 2026
Roentgen's List of X-radiation Properties include being highly
properties penetrating,
electrically neutral, traveling at the speed
of light in
a vacuum, ionizing matter, causing
fluorescence,
affecting photographic film, and producing
chemical and biological changes in matter
through
ionization & excitation
Attenuation Reduction in the force, effect or value of
something
Elongation with magnification Results when the image receptor is tilted
Foreshortening with magnification Occurs when part/anatomy is tilted or
misaligned
Ionization Process of adding or removing an electron
from an
atom
, CTM (Ceiling Tube Mount) Most common tube suspension system
with only
two sets of rails mounted overhead in the
x-ray
room
Tube Filtration Recommended for tubes with a maximum
kV over
70kV is 2.5 mm aluminum equivalency
kV Technical factor that controls the strength
of
radiation emitted by the x-ray tube
mA Technical factor that controls the amount
of
radiation emitted by the x-ray tube
APR (Anatomically Programmed Employs Technical Factors and AEC
Radiography)
Main Circuit Circuit that provides modified power to the
x-ray
tube
Filament Circuit Circuit that provides modified power to the
filament
Rectifier Part of the main circuit that turns AC to DC
