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?

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
