Solution Steps

Step 1: Question 22

The overall lightness or darkness of a radiograph is referred to as its density. Contrast refers to the difference in densities between adjacent areas on a radiograph. Definition refers to the sharpness of the image.

Step 2: Question 23

Exposed films should never be placed in a disposable cup, on the counter top, or in the patient's lap due to infection control and potential loss. The lab coat pocket could also lead to potential loss or bending of the film.

Step 3: Question 24

The collimator is a device used to restrict the size and shape of the x-ray beam, reducing patient exposure and improving image quality. The filter removes low-energy x-rays, the rectifier ensures a unidirectional current, and the film holder, well, holds the film.

Final Answer

  1. \( \boxed{a} \)
  2. There is no correct option provided in the given choices. The proper protocol is to place exposed films in a designated container specifically for that purpose, often a lead-lined container outside the operatory until processing.
  3. \( \boxed{c} \)
