Q2:

1. Does the anode angle change the amount of radiation exiting the x-ray beam?
2. Will decreasing the anode angle increase the anode heel effect? Why?
3. Why will a small anode angle decrease the intensity of the x-ray beam?
4. Why will a small anode angle decrease the receptor exposure?
5. What does beam filtration do?
6. Will increasing filtration decrease the total receptor exposure? Why?
7. Will increasing filtration decrease the beam quantity? Why?
8. Will adding on a grid reduce receptor exposure? Why?
9. Will a higher grid ratio (12:1) decrease the receptor exposure more than a lower grid ratio (6:1)? Why?
10. Why will a larger patient decrease receptor exposure? 
11. What type of pathology will increase receptor exposure?
