◉ shape distortion - images that appear shorter than the true
objects. Answer: Foreshortening


◉ different shades of gray that can be stored and displayed by a
computer system. Answer: Grayscale


◉ fewer shades of gray - greater differences between gray shades -
low mAs & high kVp. Answer: high contrast image


◉ The device that receives the energy of the x-ray beam and forms
the image of the body part. Answer: Image Receptor (IR)


◉ The exit or remnant radiation leaving the patient interacts with
the IR - is not visible. Answer: Latent (invisible) image


◉ the ability to remove (eject) an electron. Answer: Ionization

, ◉ photoelectric effect. Answer: when ionization occurs within a
diagnostic xray and removes (ejects) an electron ____________________
happens.


◉ the pattern of stored energy on the exposed film; the invisible
image produced when the film is exposed to x-rays and that remains
invisible until the film is processed. Answer: latent image


◉ great number gray shades - small variations between gray shades
- high mAs & low kVp. Answer: low contrast image


◉ aka: size distortion - an increase in the image size of an object
compared with its true or actual size. Answer: magnification


◉ it decreases. Answer: what happens to magnification (size
distortion) when SID increases?


◉ when SID decreases. Answer: when does magnification (size
distortion) increase?


◉ the visible image once the IR is processed. Answer: manifest
