3 X-ray Interaction through the body PBI
- Pass through the body - Be absorbed by body - Interact & change direction

4 Processing Steps
> Developing - silver is deposited at latent image > Fixing - clearing agent > Washing - water to remove developer solutions > Drying - hot air
20
examples of: high subject contrast > low kVp > short scale contrast >
Bone
21
what to do To maintain exposure when increasing kVp:
- increase kVp by 15% - reduce mAs to half
22
described by scale of contrast
Radiographic Images
23
2 TYPES OF INTENSIFYING SCREENS
- Calcium Tungstate: blue light - Rare Earth: green light
24
- placed in cassette close contact with film, function is to reinforce the action of x-rays - amplify the incoming x-ray beam - introduced by Thomas Edison in 1896
Intensifying Screens
25
- controlling factor of contrast - difference in potential applied to x-ray tube - directly proportional to average x-ray spectrum or x-ray quality - plays role in adjusting amount of penetration in an acquisition - energy of x-rays (higher penetrability)
kVp
26
circular aperture diaphragms
Cones/Cylinder
27
3 Amount of Scatter Radiation increase with: ILD
- Increased patient thickness - Larger field sizes - Decrease in atomic number of tissue

Subjective
29
properties that comprise visibility of detail. Appear Gray
Contrast
30
what to do To maintain exposure when decreasing kVp:
- decrease kVp 15% - multiply mAs by 2

4 PARTS OF INTENSIFYING SCREEN BRPP
- Base Layer - Reflective Layer - Phosphor Layer - Protective Coat
34
- device used to improve contrast of radiographic image - absorbs scattered radiation before it reaches image receptor - employed when body part thickness is greater than 10cm or kVp is 60 - used for obese patients
