Across
  1. 3. the object of interest is raised or anatomically positioned above the image receptor
  2. 4. developed to absorb scattered and secondary radiation
  3. 5. foreshortening or elongation of a body part due to angulation of the body part,x-ray receptor, or x-ray tube
  4. 9. the portion of the x-ray image that is sharp and clearly collimated
  5. 12. smallest quantity of any type of electromagnetic radiation
  6. 13. Frequency Lower wavelengths
  7. 14. the outside edge or shadow where the film has been imperfectly collimated
  8. 17. what distance is used for x-ray tube's focal spot to image receptor
