14. There are......intensifying screens within a cassette






15. With what kind of typical film do we get 95% exposure due to visible light and 5% is due to the x-rays directly






16. Redness of the skin






17. Is the density difference between 2 adjacent areas on a radiograph

19. Weakness






20. Is the measurement for the maximum energy available at that setting






21. Pigments tend to decrease the lateral spread of light so there is increased detail






22. What is the term for an unknown cause






23. These cells are the most sensitive to radiation






24. Why do we not give atropine with a contrast radiograph
