Term 1 of 147
Which type of vision is most commonly employed during conventional fluoroscopic exam?
Photopic
Scotopic
Mesopic
Lovotopic
Term 2 of 147
Image quality utilizing an image intensifier is improved as the size of the x-ray beam (x-ray field) is
tightly coned or collimated because:
The effective kVp increases
The effective mA increases
There is a reduction of scattered radiation reaching the output phosphor of the image
intensifier
The image becomes brighter
,Term 3 of 147
Which of the following describe the correct usage of the "boost" position or high level control in
fluoroscopy?
i. Increases the tube current and potential above normal limits
ii. Automatically raises the level of the table
iii. Continuous manual activation is required
iv. Continuous audible signal is required
II only
I, III and IV only
I and II only
III and IV only

Movements
,Term 6 of 147

7-10 line pairs per mm
3-6 line pairs per mm
1-2 line pairs per mm
2-4 line pairs per mm
