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. What are the 2 types of anodes






2. Affects both density and contrast






3. Incorrect grid focus is one reason for






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






5. Means more electrons will be released from the filament and directed at the anode






6. When the density difference is great - there is






7. AgBr + light =






8. When the AgBr reacts and ionizes with light or x-rays - than at this point - What is on the film is known as the






9. MAs for abdomen (standard mAs) x=?






10. Radiographic signs dont always agree with what






11. What is one of the most common areas of occurance for spinal problems ( 85% dachshunds)






12. To double the density






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






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






15. Is the electrical current that heats the filament






16. Must be radiolucent






17. Radiograph of a dogs skeleton has a long scale of contrast






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






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






20. Is influenced by quantity of x-rays(mAs) - quality of x-rays (kVp) - type and thickness of tissue being x-rayed






21. Grid helps reduce the amount of......






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






23. X-ray machines come with a set one - we cannot adjust it






24. 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






25. Has a positive charge






26. Collimator






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






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






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






30. White against black - like the x-ray of a plain skeleton






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






32. The focused grid is upside down - is one reason for






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






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






35. Extra pain is also called






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






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






38. MAs for extremities






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






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






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






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






43. Safe Operating Procedures






44. AgBr + x-rays =






45. The smaller the focal spot






46. Must change if the FFD changes






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