CAMRT Prep Exam Questions WITH
ALL CORRECT ANSWERS
The exposure from an x-ray tube operated at 70kV @ 200mAs is 400mR @ 90cm.
What will be the exposure at 180cm? - ANSWER- i2 = i1 x d1^2/d2^2
i2 = 400 x 90^2/180^2
i2 = 400 x 8100/32400
i2 = 400 x 0.25
i2 = 100mR
OR
I1/I2=((d2)/(d1))^2
I1=12 ((d2))/(d1)))^2
I1= 400mR ((90)/(180))^2
I1= 400 (1/2)^2
I1= 400(1/4)
I1 = 100mR
