Image Quality - Math - Video Lesson

This short lesson is about multiple sample problems related to image quality. It's very important for a technologist to understand how his or her decisions related to technical factors affects the final image. And it's also important that we understand how all of the variables related to the patient and the tray tube and the image receptor, how all of those things also affect image quality. When we talk about image quality, here's four main areas that we're concerned with receptor exposure, contrast, spatial resolution, and distortion. So let's look at a few practice problems that wires that we put all of this knowledge together and answer certain questions. Here's question number one. Which combination of variables will result in a radiograph with the highest image contrast. So immediately, we want to think about the things before we even look at the answer options. Think about the things that affect our image contrast. We want the highest image contrast, KVP affects our image contrast, grids,
