Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HVL (half-value layer) is the unit of overall x-ray beam quality.

Answer: F and I
 1.5 mm aluminum minimum filtration is a requirement for all diagnostic x-ray beams, and aluminum is a commonly used material for beam filtration.

Answer: A, C, D, and E
 Compound filters, Thoraeus filters, trough filters, and beryllium filters are all alternatives to aluminum filtration that can be used to customize the x-ray beam for specific diagnostic purposes.

Answer: H
 keV (kiloelectronvolts) is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the energy of x-ray photons.
