Question 1 of 25

Safety

ALARA means the technologist should:

A. Use the lowest reasonable exposure that produces a diagnostic image

B. Maximize mAs for every study regardless of body part

C. Skip collimation to save time

D. Stand in the primary beam to reposition the patient faster

Incorrect

As Low As Reasonably Achievable—collimation, technique selection, and shielding reduce dose while maintaining diagnostic quality.

Question 2 of 25

Image Production

Increased kVp in a technique chart generally:

A. Increases penetrating ability and affects contrast

B. Decreases exposure time only with no beam effect

C. Eliminates the need for grids on all body parts

D. Removes scatter entirely

Correct

kVp controls beam quality and penetration; mAs controls quantity—both must match part thickness and pathology.

Safety Recall

Lead aprons and thyroid shields protect primarily against:

A. Scatter radiation during fluoroscopy and nearby exposures

B. Magnetic fields from MRI scanners

C. Patient motion blur on CR plates

D. Contrast allergic reactions

Tap card to reveal answer

Correct answer You chose B

A. Scatter radiation during fluoroscopy and nearby exposures

Explanation

Personnel shielding attenuates scatter; MRI safety involves different hazards unrelated to lead aprons.

Procedures Recall

For a PA chest radiograph, the central ray should enter:

A. At the level of T7 with shoulders against the IR and proper inspiration

B. Through the abdomen with arms at the sides only

C. From the foot of the table without collimation

D. With the patient prone only for all chest studies

Tap card to reveal answer

Correct answer You chose C

A. At the level of T7 with shoulders against the IR and proper inspiration

Explanation

Standard PA chest positioning uses proper centering, inspiration, and collimation—technique varies by projection, not arbitrary beam aim.

Safety Definition

Collimation

Tap card to reveal answer

Answer

Restricting the X-ray beam to the anatomy of interest, reducing patient dose and scatter to improve image quality.

B. That oral contrast replaces IV screening

C. Patient may drive immediately after all contrast exams

D. Vital signs are never needed

Image Production

A repeating artifact on CR images after calibration suggests checking:

A. Plate erasure, grid alignment, and detector cleanliness
