FLASHCARDS: Radiographic Image
1.
Q: Other term for computed radiography
A: Digital Radiography
Computed radiography uses digital sensors instead of traditional film to capture images, making it a form
of digital radiography.
2.
Q: Variations in density available on radiography
A: Contrast
Contrast helps distinguish between different tissues and structures in the radiograph.
3.
Q: Contrast is needed to view the visibility of detail (True/False)
A: True
High contrast improves the ability to see fine structures and anatomical differences.
4.
Q: Change in size and shape of the object as seen on the radiograph is called
A: Distortion
Distortion may result from incorrect positioning or angulation of the x-ray beam.
5.
Q: Refers to the proportional increase in the dimensions of a radiographed object relative to the actual
dimensions of that object
A: Image Magnification
Magnification occurs when there is increased distance between the object and image receptor.
