The most common cause of radiographic unsharpness is CORRECT ANSWERS motion
What term in digital imaging is used to describe the process the computer uses to
produce a
uniform brightness and contrast regardless of the exposure? CORRECT ANSWERS

What is the purpose of the Practice Standards? CORRECT ANSWERS defining
statements of the professional role and performance criteria for a practitioner.
one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Advisory Opinion Ion Statements
, one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Professional Performance Standards
one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Quality Standard Performance
one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Clinical Performance Standers
one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Scope Of Practice
one of the six sections of the practice standards for medical imaging and radiation
therapy CORRECT ANSWERS Introduction
General Criteria- Same in all of the practice standards except limited x-ray machine
operators and should be used for the appropriate area of practice. CORRECT
ANSWERS a subdivided individual standards discussed in each performance standard.
Specific Criteria- Meets the needs of the individuals in the various area of professional
performance. While many areas of performance are similar others are not. The specific
criteria are written with the different in mind. CORRECT ANSWERS a subdivided
individual standards discussed in each performance standard.
Rationale- Explains why an individual should follow the particular standard of
performance. CORRECT ANSWERS a subdivided individual standards discussed in
each performance standard.
the 8 Standards of Radiography clinical performance standards CORRECT ANSWERS
Assessment
Analysis/Determination
Patient Education
Performance
Evaluation
Implementation
Outcomes Measurement
Documentation
Why are the Practice Standards general in nature? CORRECT ANSWERS they serve
as guide and establish general criteria to determine compliance. They were developed
by the profession for judging the quality of practice, service and education provided by
individuals in the medical imaging and radiation therapy career. Due to the generality of
practice standards they are often used in job descriptions and practice parameters.
Persons outside the imaging, therapeutic, and radiation science community can use the
standards as an overview of the role and responsibilities of the individual.
