a. Overlapping
b. Unequal distribution of arches recorded
c. Cone cutting
d. Incorrect placement of the image receptor
c. The ring external aiming device is designed to match the round collimation of the PID. These devices make centering the image recept within the beam of radiation easy to achieve.
