Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) Using a small focal spot will result in more precise images with greater detail.
2) The longest SID (source-to-image distance) will result in less magnification and distortion of the image, leading to greater detail.
3) The smallest OID (object-to-image distance) will also result in less magnification and distortion of the image, leading to greater detail.
4) Longer exposure times will increase patient dose but do not necessarily improve detail sharpness.
