An X-ray set fails to terminate properly during a chest X-ray examination because of automatic exposure control (AEC) failure. However, the back-up timer works and an investigation revealed that the patient received an unintended dose of ten times that intended. Which of the following statements are correct? a. It is necessary to inform the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) b. It is necessary to inform the Healthcare Commission c. The patient must not be informed of the incident d. A record of the investigation must be kept for 50 years e. The equipment should not be put back into use until the service engineer checks the equipment

A much greater than intended dose is defined as a multiplying factor of the intended dose in different types of examination. For chest X-ray, a dose of 20 times the intended dose is defined as much greater than intended.

b. False. If the overexposure is secondary to equipment failure, the HSE should be informed. 

c. False. The patient could be informed. However, when the dose is below the limit, it is not necessary to inform the patient. 

d. False. A record of assessment must be kept for 2 years.

Regarding image quality in mammography: a. Compression reduces movement un sharpness but has no effect on geometrical un sharpness b. A magnified view increases un sharpness c. A linear moving grid is generally used in mammography to reject scatter in more than one direction d. The mammography unit is designed to overcome the anode heel effect e. A typical compression force is 100–150 N

Answer»

a. False. Compression reduces both geometrical and movement unsharpness, as well as scatter. 

b. True.

c. False. In mammography, moving grids are used for all normal contact images. The grids are generally linear, i.e. they reject scatter in one direction and move from side to side during the exposure, so that they are not seen on the images. Sometimes the exposure stops momentarily when the grid reaches one end of its path to prevent its image appearing on the film. If the exposure times are very short or if the grid speed is not set correctly, then grid lines can sometimes be seen on the image. 

d. False. The radiation across the X-ray beam is not uniform due to the anode heel effect. However, in mammography what we are imaging is not of uniform thickness. A breast is more like a cone in shape. If a uniform X-ray beam were applied to a breast, the resultant density of the film would vary across the breast, being highest where the breast is thinnest (nipple edge) and lowest where the breast is thickest (chest wall edge). We want a uniform film density. To help achieve this we make use of the anode heel effect. In general radiography, the highest intensity part of the X-ray beam is in the centre of the field. In mammography, we want the highest intensity part of the beam to coincide with the thickest part of the breast, i.e. the chest wall edge. To achieve this, the tube is angled and collimated. 

e. True. The compression paddle can be moved up and down by a powered motor. During an examination, the compression paddle will slowly be brought down on to the breast. This compresses the breast to make it thinner. The maximum force applied should be no greater than 200 N (equivalent to an approximately 20 kg weight). Standard compression forces are normally between 100 and 150 N.

The input resistance of a common emitter transistor amplifer, if the output resistance is `500 K Omega`, the current gain `alpha = 0.98` and power gain is `6.0625 xx 10^(6)`, isA. `198 Omega`B. `300 Omega`C. `100 Omega`D. `400 Omega`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) Apply the concept, power gain is product of current gain and voltage gain and find the resistance
Voltage gain `= A_(V) = beta (R_(2))/(R_(1))`
Also, current gain `beta = (alpha)/(1 - alpha) = (0.98)/(1 - 0.98) = 49`
`A_(V) = (49) [(500 xx 10^(3))/(R_(1))]`
Power gain `= 6.0625 xx 10^(6) = 49 xx [(500 xx 10^(3))/(R_(1))] xx 49`
`:. R_(1) = 198 Omega`
