CHAPTER 1: TERMINOLOGY, IMAGING AND POSITIONING PRINCIPLES
This chapter introduces essential radiographic terminology, imaging principles,
and positioning concepts. It emphasizes patient safety, radiation protection,
anatomical orientation, and image quality. Nurses and radiologic technologists
must understand proper positioning, exposure factors, and terminology to
, ensure accurate imaging, minimize repeat exams, protect patients and staff, and
facilitate effective diagnostic and therapeutic care.
1. Which term refers to the arrangement of the body for radiographic imaging?
A. Projection
B. Position
C. Exposure
D. Density
- CORRECT ANSWER - : B
Rationale: Position describes the patient’s body arrangement for imaging.
Projection refers to the path of the x-ray beam; exposure and density relate
to image quality.
2. What does radiographic projection describe?
A. Patient orientation
B. Path of the x-ray beam
C. Image density
D. Exposure time
- CORRECT ANSWER - : B
Rationale: Projection specifies the direction of the x-ray beam as it passes
through the patient to the image receptor.
3. Which factor primarily affects radiographic image density?
A. mAs (milliampere-seconds)
B. Patient position
C. Anatomical plane
D. Grid ratio
- CORRECT ANSWER - : A
Rationale: Image density depends on mAs, which controls the quantity of x-rays.
Positioning and grid ratio influence contrast and detail, not density directly.
