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






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






3. Increased thickness of this leads to increased x-ray absorption and increased visible light emission from the crystals






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






5. These screens are the most common type - they give good resolution with relatively low exposure






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






7. What type of cystogram uses air and hypaque






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






9. Is to the right - it produces the electrons






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






11. A device that moves the grid back and forth under the table. it helps to prevent grid lines from showing






12. When processing film - the black areas are made of






13. Areas on film that should be black but come out grey - due to storage






14. Is on the anode and is angled at approximately 20 degrees from vertical






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






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






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






18. Types of cell damage






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






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






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






22. What is one of the most common area of occurance for spinal problems (15% dobermans)






23. Sheets of luminescent phorphor crystals on a cardboard or plastic base






24. Calcium 'bridges' between adjacent vertebrae






25. Collimator






26. Infection of a disk - or bone near it






27. What spinal problem do doberman's get






28. The back of the cassette is made of lead to decrease....






29. There are......intensifying screens within a cassette






30. Bone infection - also known as spondylitis






31. As this increases - the intensity of the x-ray beam decreases - so the beam intensity increases - and the mAs must decrease to compensate






32. A living animal - with tissue densities such as fat - muscle - fluid - and air






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






34. AgBr + light =






35. Between density and mAs






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






37. Dislocations or separations






38. Faster screens/less detail; slower screens/more detail






39. The layer of the film where the action occurs






40. A layer of intensifying screen that reflects the light from the phosphor layer toward the film






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






42. Size film we use here






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






44. If you use an mA of 300 - What time fraction must i use to get an mAs of 10?






45. Affects both density and contrast






46. When doing a lateral radiograph of the thorax/chest - the x-ray beam should be centered over what specific anatomical landmark






47. 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






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






49. The efficiency of this reflects light made by phosphors back towards the film






50. What type of film gives more detailed radiographs but more exposure to everyone involved? (commonly used as dental film - or for extremities)
