QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What organ is labeled C? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅
What structure is labeled D? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅
When taking a VD thoracic radiograph, you should measure at the level - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅Of the twelfth rib
The focal spot is - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The spot on the tungsten target that the
electron beam is aimed at
The tungsten plate (target) is located where on the x-ray machine? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅anode
The workplace program that has been developed to ensure radiation exposures are kept as
low as possible is - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ALARA
To prevent geometric distortion when performing radiographs, which of the following
guidelines should be followed? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The primary x-ray beam should
be perpendicular to the object of interest, and the patient should be positioned parallel to the
film
Because of the relationship between the mA and the mAs, as you increase the mA you can -
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Decrease the time to reduce chance of movement
Which of these factors does not affect the amount of penumbra on a radiographic film and
does not contribute to the penumbra? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅kVp
If cracks are present in protective apparel, they appear ___ when radiographed - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅black
, How does kVp affect the electrons and the x-ray beam? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅Increasing it increases the speed at which electrons are pulled across to the
anode and also increases the penetrating power of the x-ray beam
What information must be included on a radiographic film for proper identification? -
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Name and address of the hospital; date (day, month, year); name
of the client and patient; age, sex, and breed of the patient
A radiation film badge worn at the collar level - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Monitors
exposure of the thyroid gland and lenses of the eyes
A sievert (Sv) is the - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Unit of radiation dose equivalent to the
absorbed dose in tissue
Which statement is supportive of the importance of good technique in radiation safety? -
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Good technique results in fewer repeated exposures of
radiographic films
The tungsten plate (target) is located where on the x-ray machine? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅anode
How does milliamperage affect the electrons in an x-ray beam? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅Increasing the milliamperage increases the number of electrons produced
and increases the number of x-rays produced per unit of time.
A VD view of the pelvis for hip dysplasia evaluation should not show which of the
following? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Stifles rotated laterally
There is a gloved hand visible on a radiograph. This is - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A real
concern, because the hand has been exposed to radiation
What is the caudal margin for proper collimation of an abdominal radiograph? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅greater trochanter
