• The ‘multi-film’ technique may be used when one radiograph film does not have enough to produce a satisfactory radiograph of a specimen.
• The range of the specimen thickness that can be adequately recorded on a radiograph is known as the of the radiograph.
• A radiograph is made using film X with an exposure of 10 mA-min. Film density obtained in the area of interest is 1.0. If it is desired to achieve a density of 2.0 in the area of interest, what exposure is required? (Log relative exposure = 1.1 for a density of 1.0 and 1.62 for a density of 2.0)
• A good Cobalt-60 shot is made on a 7.6 cm (3 inches) steel casting using an exposure time of 10 minutes and a source-to-film distance of 91.5 (36 inches). If it is necessary to change the source-to-film distance to 61 cm (24 inches), what exposure time would produce a similar radiograph if all other conditions remain the same?
• A radiograph is made using film X with an exposure of 10 mA-min. Film density in the area of interest is 1.0. If it is desired to achieve a density of 2.0 in the area of interest, what exposure is required? (Log relative exposure = 1.1 for a density of 1.0 and 1.62 for a density of 2.0)
• Contrast and definition are the two major factors that determine the of the radiograph:
• Definition is defined as the measure of the of the outline of the image in the radiograph.
• The density difference displayed from one area of a film radiograph to another is called:
• Source-to-object distance, object-to-film distance, and source size are the three factors that control the of the radiograph.
• The maximum film density to which the radiograph should be exposed is dependent upon:
