as magnification
increases what does
resolution do

decrease

as OID increases what

does magnification do?

increases

as SID increases what

does magnification do?

decreases

determination of the
cause of the problem?

Technical factorsphotographic- contrast density

geometric- detail distortion
Procedural factors
patient postion
patient prep-are they cleaned
out
equipment malfunction
phototiming not calibrated
tube misfired
wrong buckey
processing
time in machine
CR reader - weird artifacts
exposure chemicals

t or f object size is always

larger than image size

false

T or F there will always be

magnification

true

what are on the spot

decision of quality?

position
tech factors
pathology
film screen
processing

What are the 2 types of

distortion?

size and shape

what are the

recommendation for
corrective action?

appropriate action for each

cause or problem we identify

What are the two types of

shape distortion?

elongation and foreshortening

11.

What is distortion?

misrepresentation of size or
shape of object being examined
- distortion may be present but
not visible bc of
density/contrast

12.

What is elongation

when objects appear longer

than they actually are

13.

what is foreshortening?

when objects appear shorter

than they actually are

what is proper
alignment and why is it
so critical?

-when the CR is perpendicular to

the part and image receptor
-part parallel to image receptor
= cr is the only perpendicular
portion of the beam so if the CR is
not centered the image will be
formed by angled photons
resulting in shape distortion

What is shape
distortion

unequal magnification of the

shape of the object being imaged

What is the art of image

critique?

application of scientific
knowledge to the analysis of an
image-making a decision about
the quality of an image

what is the
classification of the
image?

-within acceptance limits- dont

repeat if passes this
-optimal or not optimal- helps in
future
-outside acceptance limits

what is the order of the

image critique method?

1)classification of the image

2) determination of the cause of
the problem
3) recommendation of corrective
action

what is the reason for

elongation?

improper alignment of the tube

and IR(film)

what is the reason for

foreshortening?

part being improperly aligned

when dealing with the

creation of xrays and
distortion do we see
magnification or
minification? and why

magnification. bc of the
divergence of the beam

When do we use
magnification to our
advantage?

mammography

who is the expert in

image analysis?

the radiographer! they need to

diagnose the problem and know
how to fix it.. are relied on by the
radiologist
