This is the last week of post topics from the review for the hygiene written boards. Today is the inverse square law and how this applies to changing the PID/cone length and exposure settings for a comparable image density. Inverse square law The inverse square law applies to any source […]
Today is image distortion. There is really only one characteristics (actually an artifact) we will be looking at; bending. (Note to those who use wired sensors, it is not possible to bend the sensor without breaking it 🙂 so this will not apply to you). Bending Bending occurs when the […]
Today is all about image density and how different settings on the x ray unit as well as the subject being imaged will effect this. The four topics I will be covering are: milliampere (mA), kilovoltage peak (kVp), exposure time, and subject thickness. I have covered some of these topics […]
