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. Hairloss or baldness






2. Ideally is very small






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






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






5. Is to the right - it produces the electrons






6. What is the term for the spotty appearance on the film due to the large crystals in the screens






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






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






9. Is the measurement for the maximum energy available at that setting






10. When.....collide with the anode - 99% of energy is released in the form of heat - and 1% of energy is in the form of x-rays






11. Is the source of electrons






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






13. This pertains to the size of the electron cloud and thus directly to the number of x-ray produced






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






15. Another result of the 20 degree angling






16. A clear protective layer on radiographic film






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






18. If there's far or muscle in the way of an x-ray - those parts would be






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






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






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






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






23. In the dark room - the safe light (red light) needs to be at least how far away from the loading bench






24. AgBr + x-rays =






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






26. If the thorax is greater than or equal to....you should use a grid






27. This gives you the desired mAs - and it gives less time for your patient to move






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






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






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






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






32. Increase mAs and kVp in order to...






33. MAs for ANY part - when using a grid 3x= ?






34. On a lateral view of the chest the aorta is dorsal to the caudal vena cava






35. NYSVMS Facility Accreditation Standards






36. Between density and kVp






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






38. A type of electromagnetic radiation which have a shorter wavelength than visible light






39. Redness of the skin






40. Crystals + x-rays = ?






41. What is the term for when the animal's bowel engulfs a piece of bowel distal to it - causing blockage






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






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






44. General purpose film - forgiving






45. Refers to the 'blackness' of a radiograph






46. AgBr + light =






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






48. Distance from the grid to the x-ray tube (36-40 inches)






49. The distance from the x-ray tube to the x-ray machine is the SID (source image distance) - or the FFD (also known as....)






50. When the density difference is great - there is
