is penumbra worse with short or long SID

short

2
New cards

what is the slanting of lead in the grids called

canting

3
New cards

what kind of contrast does scatter reduce

subject c ontrast

4
New cards

how can you restore subject contrast

by using grid

5
New cards

what do you have to do to the technique when using a grid

raise

6
New cards

what is the cm of body part that grid should be used

13cm

7
New cards

what are some causes of scatter

high kvp, large field size, thick part

8
New cards

what kind of technique is best for ALARA

high kvp low mas

9
New cards

when hearing quality and potential difference what do you think of

kvp

10
New cards

geometrical quality affects what part of image

detail

11
New cards

scatter affects what part of image

visibility

12
New cards

what is air gap technique

increasing oid because scattter will diverge before hitting plate

13
New cards

with more OID what happens to receptor exposure

lowers

14
New cards

what kind of factor is blur

geometric

15
New cards

where is the affective focal spot

patient

16
New cards

what happens to penumbra when you increase SID

goes down

17
New cards

what happens to penumbra when you increase OID

goes up

18
New cards

what controls spatial resolution

focal spot size

19
New cards

when using the line focus principal, is the affective or actual focal spot smaller

affective

20
New cards

who invented grid

gustav bucky

21
New cards

what does a grid do

reduce scatter before hitting receptor

restores subject contrast in remnant beam

22
New cards

what grids are used for different SIDS

focus grids

23
New cards

who solved grid lines and how

hollis potter by moving them

24
New cards

how many lines of foil per inch can be in a grid

110

25
New cards

in a potter bucky grid, what motion does a recipricol motor have

back and forth

26
New cards

what motion does an oscilating motor have

circular

27
New cards

what is the grid ratio formula

height of strips/distance between

28
New cards

is a higher or lower ratio of height of strips to distance better

higher

29
New cards

what is a way to increase frequency of strips in grid

make strips thinner

30
New cards

what ratio of grid is used for chest

16:1

31
New cards

what ratio of grid is used for abdomen or 40 SID

12:1

32
New cards

what grid ratio is used for portables

6:1 or 8:1

33
New cards

what is grid frequency

number of lead lines per inch

34
New cards

what is contrast improvement factor formula

contrast with grid/

contrast without grid

35
New cards

what is the contrast improvement factor measured by

densitometer

36
New cards

what is the bucky factor

ratio of mAs required with a grid to mAs required without a grid in order to maintain remnant beam exposure

37
New cards

What is the Bucky factor formula

Mas1/mas2= BF1/BF2
