1. An excellent radiography is obtained under given exposure conditions with a tube current of 5
mA and an exposure time of 12 min. If other conditions are not changed, what exposure time
would be required if the X-ray tube current could be raised to 10 mA?
A. 24 min
B. 12 min
C. 6 min
D. 3 min
6. The term used to express the number of curies (becquerels) of radioactivity per ounce or gram
of source weight is:
A. Decay
B. Emissivity
C. Specific activity
D. Source output
7. Excessive exposure of film to light prior to development of the will most likely result in:
A. A foggy film
B. Improved definition
C. Streaks
D. Yellow stain
8. Reticulation resulting in a puckered or net-like film surface is probably caused by:
A. Crimping film after exposure
B. Sudden extreme temperature change while processing in the developer
C. Water or developer on unprocessed film
D. Excessive object-to-film distance
9. Frilling or loosening of the emulsion from the base of the film is most likely caused by:
A. Water or developer on unprocessed film
B. Low temperature of processing contamination
C. Developer solution contamination
D. Warm or exhausted fixer solution
10. As a check on the adequacy of the radiographic technique, it is customary to place a standard
test piece on the source side of the specimen. This standard test piece is called:
A. A reference plate
B. A lead screen
C. An image quality indicator (IQI)
D. An illuminator
13. Static marks, which are black tree-like or circular marks on a radiograph, are often caused by:
A. Film being bent when inserted in a cassette or holder
B. Foreign material or dirt embedded in screens
C. Scratches on lead foil screens
D. Improper film handling techniques
16. The small area in the X-ray tube from which the radiation emanates is called the:
A. Diaphragm
B. Focal spot
C. Focusing cup
D. Cathode
18. A graph showing the relation between material thickness, kilo voltage, and exposure is called:
A. A bar chart
B. An exposure chart
C. A characteristics curve
D. A logarithmic chart
19. A graph that expresses the relationship between logarithm of the exposure applied to a
photographic material and the resulting photographic density is called:
A. A bar chart
B. An exposure chart
C. A characteristics curve
D. A logarithmic chart
20. When referring to a 2T or 4T hole in the ASTM IQI, the T refers to the:
A. Part thickness
B. Plaque thickness
C. Time of exposure
D. Time for developing
21. The density difference between two selected portions of a radiograph is known as:
A. Unsharpness
B. Radiographic contrast

A. Particulate radiations
B. Electromagnetic radiations
C. Microwave radiations
D. Ionizing radiations
23. The sharpness of the outline in the image of the radiograph is a measure of:
A. Subject contrast
B. Radiographic definition
C. Radiographic contrast
D. Film contrast
