To compensate for the increased object-image receptor distance needed to achieve parallelism, the target-surface receptor distance should be increased.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When increasing the object-image receptor distance to achieve parallelism, the distance between the target or patient and the receptor should also be increased to maintain image sharpness and minimize magnification. This is known as the source-to-image distance (SID) and is part of the inverse square law of radiation. Therefore, the statement is true.
