Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rectangular PIDs (position-indicating devices) are the most effective way to reduce radiation to the patient, as they limit the size of the x-ray beam to only the area of interest. Fast film speeds can decrease the amount of radiation exposure needed, but they do not directly reduce radiation to the patient. Thyroid collars and image receptor holders help protect specific areas of the body and improve image quality, but they do not reduce overall radiation exposure to the patient.
