Name 8 factors that affect recorded detail.
1. Motion
2. SID
3. OID
4. Focal Spot Size
5. Film/Screen Speed
6. Film/Screen Contact
7. Noise (e.g. Quantum Mottle)
8. Thickness of Patient Part
When SID (source to image receptor distance) increases, detail _________.
Increases
When OID (object to image receptor distance) increases, detail _________.
Decreases
When Focal Spot Size increases, detail ________.
Decreases
When film/screen speed increases, detail ________.
Decreases
Recorded detail can be defined as:
The degree of geometric sharpness or accuracy of the structural lines actually recorded in the image (resolution tool is used).
spatial resolution is synonymous with ________.
Recorded detail
A higher amount of line pairs per millimeter affects detail how?
By increasing it
Actual focal spot can be defined as:
The spot on the anode where beam hits.
Which side of the tube provides the most intense beam?
Detail is always greatest at the ______ side and cathode side has greater __________.
Cathode ( - )

Anode ( + ) Blur
*** You can find your new mAs with this formula... (mAs/distance formula, exposure maintenance formula)
new SID 2 (squared)
old SID X old mAs
*** To find new seconds (when doing mAs/distance conversions), use this formula:
new mAs
new mA
*** What are the only 3 things (technical factors) do we need to consider when finding which set of technical factors will produce the greatest amount of recorded detail?
SID, OID, and Focal Spot Size
What 3 qualities of a film screen determine how much detail will be displayed? hint: phosphors
1. Size of phosphor in screen 2. Phosphor layer thickness 3. Phosphor concentration
How do you determine the magnification factor?
SID
SOD
