  1. 8. as the matrix increases, ___ increase in number and also become smaller in size
  2. 10. the compactness of the cellular structure
  3. 11. digital imaging has a much bigger ___ than film screen imaging
  4. 13. is the beam that occurs after the primary beam exits the patient
  5. 14. is the invisible image
  6. 15. this increases with patient thickness, density, and atomic number also increases patient dose
  7. 16. uses a continuous beam of x-rays, produces live images
  8. 17. x-ray passing through anatomy without any interactions (makes the image black)
Down
  1. 1. a device that receives the remnant beam
  2. 2. the ability to differentiate between two similar density structures
  3. 3. the process of image formation is a result of ___ of the x ray beam interacting with different types of tissue
  4. 4. image is the visible image
  5. 5. this increases with patient thickness, and density (atomic number does not affect it)
  6. 6. the ability to differentiate two similar structures from one another
  7. 7. the number of shades of gray that can be used to form the image
  8. 9. the smallest unit used for computer storage
