100
The definition of radiographic density is this.
What is the degree of blackness on a radiograph?
100
Radiolucent anatomy has this appearance.
What is black?
100
Using this will help you determine radiograph settings.
What is a technique chart?
100
This is the definition of a radiograph.
What is the record of the ionizing radiation used to visualize internal body structures?
200
This side has a negative electrical charge.
What is the cathode?
200
This is done to intensify density.
What is increasing the mAs or increasing kVp?
200
Radioopaque anatomy has this appearance.
What is white?
200
Increasing the mA increases this X-ray feature.
What is radiographic density?
200
The screen or dials that change the parameters of the X-ray.
What is the control panel?
300
This side has a positive electrical charge.
What is the anode?
300
This is the definition of short scale.
What is mostly black and white shades?
300
This is the most radioopaque substance in the body.
What is bone?
300
This is how the appropriate kVp is determined.
What is by the part of the body being radiographed?
300
This is where the X-ray's recording surface is usually located.
What is under the table?
400
This end of the tube provides a source of electrons.
What is the cathode?
400
This is the definition of long scale.
What is many shades of grey, and a few black and white shades?
400
Air or lung tissue will appear this colour on X-ray.
What is black?
400
To double the density, kVp must be increased by this amount.

400
The recording surface in digital radiography is called this.
What is imaging plate?
500
The amount of energy in a circuit is referred to by using this unit.
What is the milliamp?
500
In most cases, this scale is more desirable for examinations.
What is long scale?
500
Patient motion causes radiographs to look like this.
What is blurry?
500
