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. MAs for abdomen (standard mAs) x=?






2. 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






3. Is the most common artifact in radiography






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






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






6. An invisible image on the x-ray film Which becomes visible after it has been processed in the manual or automatic processor






7. The smaller the focal spot






8. Calcium 'bridges' between adjacent vertebrae






9. Longer wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation have more penetrating power






10. Has a positive charge






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






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






13. Extra pain is also called






14. What is the name for the cartilage flap in the shoulder joint that has broken free and is floating around in the joint fluid






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






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






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






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






19. Must be radiolucent






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






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






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






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






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






25. What spinal problem do doberman's get






26. Is the device which restricts (narrows) the beam of x-rays as they leave the x-ray machine






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






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






29. Incorrect grid focus is one reason for






30. Dislocations or separations






31. 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)






32. An abdominal radiograph should be taken at the peak of expiration






33. Less forgiving - high contrast - cannot tolerate changes in exposure or processing






34. These screens have increased definition/detail - need to have increased radiation exposure






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






36. Hairloss or baldness






37. What type of cystogram uses air and hypaque






38. Growth - gonadal - neoplastic - and metabolically active cells are what kind of cells






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






40. What type of films need a lot more x-ray exposure and more time to expose them






41. Weakness






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






43. Increased crystal size.....






44. If the grid is stationary - more lines that are finer are less apt to show up on a radiograph - this is called....






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






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






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






48. Is the source of electrons






49. AgBr + x-rays =






50. Bone - lymphatic cells - epitheilial - and hemopoietic cells are also what kind of cell?
