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. Bone infection - also known as spondylitis






3. Legally - a non-pregnant woman is required to hold a HBC dog for radiographs in NYS






4. Does move - has disks that rotate at high speeds - this helps spread out the heat that's produced as the electrons hit the focal spot






5. The tendency of a luminescent compound to continue to give off light after x-radiation has stopped






6. Refers to the 'blackness' of a radiograph






7. NYSVMS Facility Accreditation Standards






8. The type of collimator that we have here






9. Longer wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation have more penetrating power






10. Amount of radiation a person can recieve in a calendar year






11. AgBr + x-rays =






12. Outer layer of disk ( dries out and cracks and causes disk to herniate)






13. Extra pain is also called






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






15. The focused grid is upside down - is one reason for






16. This number in santes' rule refers to the distance the x-ray tube is from the x-ray film






17. What is the term for an unknown cause






18. A clear protective layer on radiographic film






19. These crystals will turn white/clear when processing film






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






21. The 2 types of collimators are






22. Rotating anode






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






24. What is the difference between fluoroscopy and a regular radiograph






25. Screen speed is.....to the exposure required to cause it to flouresce






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






27. What type of film has the x-rays directly cause the latent image to be formed






28. What type of bone tumors started in the location they were first found






29. We should always try and stay How many feet from our x-ray machine






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






31. Calcium 'bridges' between adjacent vertebrae






32. Old mAs x (new FFD)2 divided by (old FFD)2






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






34. These screens are high speed - they decrease exposure - poorer detail - able to penetrate thicker areas






35. To utilize this - you position the thickest part of the animal towards the cathode end of the x-ray tube






36. Negative contrast agents appear what color on a radiograph






37. The picture formed after the film has been exposed to x-rays and then processed into a visible image.






38. This is inversely proportional to screen speed






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






40. They don't move - they're found in dental units and portable units - cannot withstand the heat produced from large units






41. The layer of the film where the action occurs






42. What is the term for a negative contrast cystogram where we inject air






43. Pigments tend to decrease the lateral spread of light so there is increased detail






44. Is the source of electrons






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






46. Safe Operating Procedures






47. Film with silver crystals that is more sensitive to fluorescent light emitted from intensifying screens than to ionizing radiation






48. Is to the right - it produces the electrons






49. This stage of pregnancy is the most dangerous for the fetus






50. Body cells affected - damage seen during lifetime of creature - can be immediate or cummulative
