Select the option, which is the logical equivalent of the statement given below:If the TV is on then Amit will switch off the radio.1. If the TV is not on then Amit will not switch off the radio.2. If the TV is off then Amit will not switch off the radio.3. If Amit does not switch off the radio then TV must not be on.4. If Amit switches off the radio then the TV must be off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : If Amit does not switch off the radio then TV must not be on. Concepts: If 'p' then 'q' , denoted by p → q where p and q are the hypothesis and conclusion respectively. p → q denotes implies also, ~ p denotes not p means negation ~ q denotes not q means negation q → p denotes converse, which means if q then p. the converse is not true even if the implication is true. ~ p → ~ q denotes inverse, which means if not p then not q. the inverse is not true even if the implication is true. ~ q → ~ p contrapositive, the contrapositive is true if the implication is true and vice versa. Given: p : TV is on q : switch off the radio Truth table
Where T is true denotes positive statement and F is False denotes the negative statement, The logical equivalence from the truth table : Implication and contrapositive result is the same i.e, if p happens then q will happen which implies if q won't happen then p also won't happen. Thus "If the TV is on then Amit will switch off the radio." logical equivalent statement is "If Amit does not switch off the radio then TV must not be on.". Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. NOTE: This is not an english language problem, It is about discrete mathematics proposition logic equivalence. |

Regarding the heel effect: a. It is more pronounced in worn-out anodes with a rugged surface b. It is less pronounced in tubes with rotating compared with stationary anodesc. For a given film size, it is more noticeable on images acquired with a long focus-to-film distance d. In mammography, the anode side of the tube should be directed towards the chest wall e. It is useful in spine radio graphs |
|
Answer» a. True. The electrons penetrate deeper into the anode material and the photons produced have a greater distance to travel through it. b. False. Anode rotation does not directly affect the heel effect. However, the heel effect is of less significance in stationary anodes tubes as they tend to have larger anode angles (due to thermal factors), and the field uniformity is not as critical in the applications they are used in. c. False. With a long focus-to-film distance, only the central, more uniform part of the beam is used to produce the image and the heel effect is less noticeable. d. False. The anode side (with a lower intensity of the beam due to the heel effect) should point away from the chest wall (where the thickness of breast tissue is less). e. True. It may be used to compensate for varying patient thickness along the cranio-caudal axis. For example, antero-posterior (AP) images of the thoracic spine are normally more penetrated (darker) towards the upper vertebrae. With the anode facing cranially, more uniform images can be obtained. |

The heel effect: a. Is due to attenuation of electrons in the target material b. Is greater on the cathode side of the X-ray field c. Is more pronounced at small anode angles d. Is more noticeable at high peak kV (kVp) e. Results in higher mean energy spectrum of the beam on the anode side compared to the cathode side |
|
Answer» a. False. It is due to attenuation of X-ray photons produced by the target material. b. False. Due to anode angulation, photons emitted towards the anode side of the field need to penetrate a larger thickness of the anode material and therefore undergo more attenuation. c. True. The steeper the target, the larger the thickness of the target material that needs to be penetrated on the anode side. d. False. It is more noticeable at low kVp, as the photons are less penetrating and the differences in attenuation on the cathode and anode sides are more pronounced. e. True. Because photons penetrating through the target material in addition to attenuation also undergo filtration. |

Concerning magnification: a. It occurs because X-rays converge on the object b. Assuming a fixed focal spot position, it increases as the object is moved nearer to the film c. Assuming a fixed position of the object in relation to the focal spot, it increases as the focus-to-film distance (FFD) is increased d. If the object is in contact with the film, the magnification factor is 1 e. Minification of the image with film-screen radiography cannot occur |
|
Answer» a. False. It occurs because X-rays are divergent from their source. b. False. This decreases magnification. c. True. The object-to-film distance would increase. d. True. In this case, there would be no magnification. e. True. |
|
| 98990. |
Concerning the focal spot: a. Its size may be estimated using a slit camera b. Its size may be estimated using a star test pattern c. A smaller anode angle reduces the size of the effective focal spot d. A larger anode angle is useful for general radiography e. The size of the actual focal spot is partly determined by the length of the cathode filament |
|
Answer» a. True. A slit camera consists of a metal plate with a slit positioned between the tube and the image receptor. One dimension of the focal spot can be calculated from magnification of the slit image. This is then repeated for the other dimension with the slit perpendicular to its original position. b. True. This involves a test object with markings at a set distance apart with which an image is produced of a certain magnification. The degree of blurring of the markings in the image can be used to estimate focal spot size, as it is greater with a larger focal spot. c. True. d. True. This allows greater tube loading and higher output, which is often necessary when imaging larger parts of the body. It also increases the size of the field coverage at short focal spot-to-image distances. e. True. It is also determined by the width of the focusing cup at the cathode. |
|
| 98991. |
Concerning the focal spot: a. A larger actual focal spot allows greater tube currents b. Increasing the anode angle increases the maximum permissible exposure factors that can be used c. A typical size of focal spot in general radiography is 1 mm d. Focal spot size has no effect on contrast e. A larger focal spot size increases the amount of scatter |
|
Answer» a. True. b. True. Increasing the anode angle increases the size of the actual focal spot and so a greater tube current or kVp may be used. c. True. d. True. e. False. It does not affect scatter. |
|
| 98992. |
Geometric unsharpness: a. Occurs because X-ray photons are emitted from an area of finite size rather than from a point sourceb. Increases with focal spot size c. Decreases with shortening of the object-to-film distance d. Increases with shortening of the focus-to-film distance e. Decreases towards the anode side of the image |
|
Answer» a. True. b. True. The larger the focal spot size, the larger the penumbra (image blur around the edges of an object). c. True. The closer the object to the detector, the less unsharpness. d. True. The closer the focus to the film, the more geometric unsharpness. In summary, geometric unsharpness depends on the focal spot size (f ), object-to-film distance (h) and focus-to-film distance (FFD) and is given by the formula Ug = fh/(FFD – h). e. True. This is because the projected focal spot decreases in size towards the anode side. |

Concerning the focal spot: a. The area of the anode over which electrons are targeted is the actual focal spot b. The size of the effective focal spot is the same as the actual focal spot c. The anode angle is the angle between the central X-ray beam and the target face d. The value of the anode angle is usually in the range of 7–30 e. Increasing the anode angle increases the actual focal spot size |
|
Answer» a. True. b. False. The effective focal spot is the area of the actual focal spot viewed from the film. Due to anode angulation, it is smaller than the actual focal spot. c. True. d. False. It is usually 7–20. e. True. |

Regarding movement (motion) unsharpness: a. It can be reduced by immobilization b. It can be reduced by using a short exposure time c. It can be exaggerated by increasing the object-to-film distance d. Increasing the focus-to-film distance always decreases movement unsharpness e. Shortening the exposure time to overcome the motion unsharpness may contribute to increased geometric unsharpness |
|
Answer» a. True. However, this may not always be possible (e.g. in case of movement blur due to heart beating). b. True. c. True. In this case, the same amount of object movement will translate to a larger distance on the film. d. False. It may increase motion blur as it necessitates increased exposure time. e. True. This is because to expose the film in a shorter time, the tube current needs to be increased, which may require selecting a larger focal spot. The size of the focal spot may also increase with a higher tube current due to the blooming effect. |
