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.

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






15. Tilting of the tube or grid is one reason for






16. The electrical current sent through the filament to cause this electron release is called






17. 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)






18. Why do we not give atropine with a contrast radiograph






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






20. What type of cystogram uses air and hypaque






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






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






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






24. When the density difference is great - there is






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






26. Size film we use here






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






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






29. Rotating anode

34. Extra pain is also called






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






36. If the kVp is increased by 15% - the density is doubled






37. 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






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






39. MAs for extremities






40. Dislocations or separations






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






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






43. Within the collimator outlines just how much is collimated






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






45. Redness of the skin






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






47. Incorrect grid focus is one reason for






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






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






50. To double the density
