Test your basic knowledge |

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Is located in a focusing cup made of molybdenum which has a high melting point and helps to direct the electrons produced toward the cathode






2. What needs to have high levels of x-ray to light conversion with the correct energy and color for the type of film used






3. Another result of the 20 degree angling






4. What type of bone tumors started elsewhere and spread to the location it was found






5. Is to the left - electrons bounce off it at a 20 degree angle






6. If barium leaks into the abdomen or lungs - it can cause what






7. Is the density difference between 2 adjacent areas on a radiograph

9. X-ray machines come with a set one - we cannot adjust it






10. Sheets of luminescent phosphor crystals bound together and mounted on a cardboard or plastic base






11. This is used to take 'real-time' radiographs - used a lot in horses






12. This is inversely proportional to screen speed






13. Has a filament made of tungsten - due to the high melting point






14. The mAs has to do with the power of the x-rays produced






15. This is caused by mutations in gonadal cells - not seen until offspring are produced - mutations are not always bad






16. Aluminum filter






17. With this procedure - no x-ray film is involved at all






18. With the heel effect - more x-rays tend to be in the beam toward this end of the tube






19. Most commonly used film - compromise between graininess and speed (detail)






20. The x-ray machine we've been using has a rotating anode






21. Is the most common artifact in radiography






22. What specific part of the eye is cloudy with a cataract






23. With the heel effect - more x-rays tend to be produced toward the cathode end






24. Compound of silver and bromine - chlorine - or iodine - all of which are in the halogen group of elements






25. When a body part is greater than or equal to.....you should use a grid






26. If perforation is suspected - what compound do we use when radiographing






27. X-ray gloves have to have....of lead equivalent






28. A lightproof encasement designed to hold x-ray film and intensifying screens in close contact






29. Types of grids






30. Measures the power of penetrability (quality) of the x-rays produced






31. For bladder cystography - we use what contrast material instead of barium






32. If there's no object in the way of an x-ray - the picture would be






33. We ideally take a radiograph of the abdomen at the peak of inspiration






34. If there's metal in the way of an x-ray - than no x-rays will get through and that part would be






35. Are produced when electrons are slowed down or stopped by atoms in the target area where they are aimed






36. What is one of the most common areas of occurance for spinal problems ( 85% dachshunds)






37. Give a 25% barium solution for upper GI series - and give At what dose?






38. Is responsible for the number or quantity of x-rays






39. The shorter the wavelength of the x-ray - the more powerful the x-ray is






40. Loss of movement in legs (front and/or back)






41. Animal has broken femur - it's ideal to have How many radiographs for diagnostic purposes






42. Film with: high detail - minimal graininess - increased exposure






43. Slowly growing dividing cells are the most sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiaton






44. MAs for bone views (pelvis - skull - spine) 2x =?






45. The 2 types of collimators are






46. To double the density






47. A grid must be used on the chest if it's 11cm thick






48. Safe Operating Procedures






49. Weakness






50. When this is exposed to x-rays - it will absorb photons (quanta) and give off photons of visible light which the film is sensitive to (give off blue light)
