Scale of contrast formula?

By

I came across this question on a registry review and am struggling to answer it mathematically.

Which of the following will produce the shortest scale of contrast?

A. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 8:1 grid

B. 15 mAs, 95 kVp, 8:1 grid

C. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 6:1 grid

D. 16 mAs, 95 kVp, 12:1 grid

I think C is wrong bc the low grid ratio. B is incorrect bc the higher kVp (compared w/ A, the higher kVp in B would lead to longer scale contrast. W all other factors being equal between the 2 choices, the kVp is the determining factor.) So I think I’ve narrowed it down to choices A and D, but what will contribute more to a shorter scale contrast: the lower kVp of choice A or the high grid ratio of choice D?

Is there a mathematical way/formula to solve this?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

If you would like to be part of our group we are making the Core textbook into an Anki deck tagged by chapter/sub sections. It will resemble the AnKing card type. Due to copyright infringement we will only be sharing the deck with those who contribute. If you are interested please chat me 1. Your Anki experience; 2. What year you are (medical students and residents only). submitted by /u/DoctorToBeIn23 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/l20h56/ankore_anki_core_radiology_comprehensive_deck/
