2025: LATEST VERSION ENGAGING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
(100% ACCURATE)
Attenuation is the process through which x- ray interactions with matter result in
a reduction in:
Beam intensity
Which three of the following photon interactions contribute to the attenuation of
the x- ray beam?
Coherent scattering,
Photoelectric absorption,
Compton scattering
The passage of radiation through matter without interaction is described as:
Transmission
X- ray beam intensity is a term describing the:
Number of photons
What term describes the x- ray beam after it has been attenuated by the patient?
Remnant beam
Photoelectric absorption is likely to occur when the incident x- ray photon
interacts with an:
Inner shell electron
Coherent scattering is likely to occur when the incident x- ray photon interacts
with a:
whole atom
Which of the following pathologies will result in decreased attenuation of the x-
ray beam?
Osteoporosis
Assuming that each body section is of approximately equal thickness, which
radiographic projection results in the highest percentage of x- ray attenuation?
AP Pelvis
