A film's response to radiation exposure may be plotted by use of a graph known as the:
H & D curve, sensitometric curve, characteristic curve
When sensitometric testing is performed on an automatic processor, the acceptable range of variation for speed and contrast is:
±0.10
Jamming of films in the processor may be caused by:
Rollers out of alignment
Which of the following statements best describes the replenishment system of an automatic processor?
Adds fresh developer and fixer each time a film is fed into the processor
Which of the following statements best describes the dryer system of an automatic processor?
Helps seal emulsion with heat, dries film, works at approximately 120º F
Which of the following best describes ideal storage conditions for x-ray film?
Protected from radiation, fumes, outdating
68º to 70º F, 40% to 60% humidity
The function of the wash tank is to:
Remove chemistry from film
The function of automatic processing is to:
Make the latent image visible
Which of the following statements best describes the transport system of an automatic processor?
Moves film through processor with a series of rollers and racks and agitates chemistry
The emulsion of radiographic film consists of:
Sensitivity specks attached to silver halide crystals
Gelatin in which silver halide crystals are suspended
Emulsion scratches that run the length of the film in the direction of film travel are usually caused by:
Guide shoes out of adjustment
Contamination of developer by fixer will cause:
Increased fog on the radiograph
The purpose of adding blue dye to the base of radiographic film is to:
Reduce glare and enhance contrast for viewing the image
Which of the following statements best describes the recirculation system of an automatic processor?
Agitates developer solution, maintains temperature, removes by-products of chemical reactions
Sensitivity specks on silver halide crystals serve as:
Development centers for building the manifest image

Luminescence
Luminescence
Spectral Matching
A DENSITOMETER READING ON THE UNEXPOSED PORTION OF A COLLIMATED, PROCESSED RADIOGRAPH OF THE KNEE SHOULD PRODUCE A READING OF NO MORE THAN:
0.2
THE Dmax PORTION OF A CHARACTERISTIC H & D CURVE CAN BE FOUND WHERE?
Shoulder
WHAT IS THE CORRECT SEQUENCE OF FILM TRANSPORT THROUGH A TYPICAL 90 SECOND AUTOMATIC PROCESSOR?
Develop, Fix, Wash, Dry
