a) The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an imaging system refers to the signal difference between two tissues in the same image divided by the noise in the image. b) Increasing the current through the cathode filament increases the acceleration of electrons towards the anode, resulting in collisions with higher kinetic energy. c) The ability of differentiating two materials in an x-ray image depends on the contrast-to-noise ratio of the two materials in the x-ray image. d) The glass envelop in an x-ray tube absorbs radiation to prevent the escape of unwanted x-rays. e) Photoelectric absorption is higher for tissues with higher atomic numbers f) For a given x-ray imaging system with a fixed x-ray source to detector distance, the x-ray source penumbral blur will decrease when the object is placed closer to the detector.
