Chiropractic Limited Radiology Study
Set. Questions & Correct Answers
Latest 2026-2027. Graded A
4 things that effect shades of grey - Ans>kvP of beam
>mass density of an object
>Atomic number of objects atom
>thickness of object
5 types of attenuation - Ans1 coherent scatter
2 Compton scatter
3 photoelectric effect
4 Pair production
5 photo disintegration
anatomical view - Ans-as if the patient was facing you
-Right on Left
-typical way that radiologist look at films
any interaction that removes a photon from the primary beam -
AnsAttenuation
attenuation of compton scattering - AnsDeflection
1
, Attenuation: photoelectric - AnsAbsorption
Bremsstrahling radiation - Answhenever a high velocity electron is
suddenly slowed down or stopped when it strikes matter
Charateristic Radiation - Ans15% of beam
Compton scatter - Ansone of the interactions of x-radiation with matter in
which the x-ray photon collides with a loosely bound, outer shell electron
and gives up part of its energy to eject the electron from its orbit. the x-ray
photon loses energy and continues in a different direction at a lower energy
level
Creates uneven distribution of Xray photons in beam - AnsAnode heel
effect
Darkest to lightest - AnsAir
fat
water
bone
metal
How would we compensate for the difference between patients so we can
produce consistent density films for patients of different sizes? -
AnsChanging Maas with fixed kvP
