When the technologist adjusts the control panel to increase the kVp by a certain percentage and reduces the mAs to half, this represents application of the:
 
 15 rule
  Reproducibility Law
  Reciprocity Law
  Inverse Square Law

Question 2

How many degrees exist between OML and IOML?
 
 7 degrees
  5 degrees
  10 degrees
  3 degrees

Answer to Question 1

15 rule

Rationale: kVp and density are directly related; they are not directly proportional. If it is desired to double the density and mAs cannot be adjusted, kVp can be increased by 15.

Answer to Question 2

7 degrees

Rationale: Seven degrees exist between OML and IOML. This difference is what constitutes the difference in tube angle application for the AP axial Townes.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
