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






2. Must be radiolucent






3. AgBr + light =






4. NYSVMS Facility Accreditation Standards






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






6. 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






7. Within the collimator outlines just how much is collimated






8. Bone infection - also known as spondylitis






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






10. A clear protective layer on radiographic film






11. Cassettes can be made of.....Which is the type here - or they can be made of magnesium - vinyl - etc






12. Aluminum filter






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






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






15. Infection of a disk - or bone near it






16. Must change if the FFD changes






17. Weakness






18. A lightproof encasement designed to hold x-ray film and intensifying screens in close contact






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






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






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






22. What needs to have high levels of x-ray absorbtion






23. Ideally is very small






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






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






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






27. Incorrect grid focus is one reason for






28. The layer of the film where the action occurs






29. Increased crystal size.....






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






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






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






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






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






35. If the kVp is too high






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






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






38. What are the 2 types of anodes






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






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






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






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






43. The 2 types of collimators are






44. Calcium tungstate - rare earth elements






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






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






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






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






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






50. Lead equivalent for thyroid sheild
