  1. Which of the following choices may be the cause of an unexposed film or receptor?
a. Excessive exposure time
b. Failure to turn on the x-ray machine
c. Excessive kilovoltage
d. Excessive milliamperage

 

 

ANS:  B

Failure to turn on the x-ray machine may be the cause of an unexposed film or receptor; excessive exposure time would create a film that appears dark; excessive kilovoltage would create a film or receptor that appears dark; excessive milliamperage would create a film or receptor that appears dark.

  1. Which of the following films would most likely appear black?
a. An unexposed film
b. A film exposed to light
c. An overexposed film
d. An underexposed film

 

 

ANS:  B

A film exposed to light would most likely appear black; an unexposed film would be clear; an overexposed film would appear dark, and with sufficient exposure the darkness may approach that of a film exposed to light; an underexposed film would appear light.

  1. The possibility of exposure of radiographic film to white light can be reduced by
a. turning off the safelight and unwrapping the films in a pitch-black room.
b. pre-exposing the entire package of film to radiation before opening the package.
c. not unwrapping the film in a room with white light.
d. turning off the fluorescent lighting in the treatment room before exposing radiographic films.

 

 

ANS:  C

The possibility of exposure of radiographic film to white light can be reduced by not unwrapping the film in a room with white light.

  1. An underexposed receptor results from
a. insufficient exposure time.
b. inadequate tissue density.
c. excessive milliamperage.
d. excessive kilovoltage.

 

 

ANS:  A

An underexposed receptor results from insufficient exposure time; manufacturers have titrated the properties of the film so that inadequate tissue density is not a possible factor; excessive milliamperage would create an overexposed film; excessive kilovoltage would create an overexposed film.
