PHOTONS, NEUTRONS, ELECTRONS, OH MY!
THE ELECTRON CLOUD SURROUNDING A HOT CATHODE IS REFERED TO AS THIS
WHAT IS THE SPACE CHARGE
REDUCING THE QUANTITY OF RADIATION REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A SATISFACTORY IMAGE IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THESE
WHAT ARE INTENSIFYING SCREENS
THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF ROTATING THE XRAY TUBE TARGET
WHAT IS TO INCREASE THE HEAT CAPACITY OF THE ANODE
MAGNIFICATION IS AFFECTED BY BOTH OF THESE
WHAT ARE OID AND SID
IF YOU HAVE A HIGH KVP AND A LOW MAS WHAT TYPE OF DOSE WILL THIS GIVE THE PATIENT
WHAT IS THE LOWEST PATIENT DOSE
THE IMAGINARY PHOTON THAT IS EMITTED FROM THE CENTER OF THE FOCAL SPOT, PERPENDICULAR TO THE LONG AXIS OF THE X-RAY TUBE IS CALLED THE:
WHAT IS THE CENTRAL RAY (CR)
WHEN A CHANGE IN SID NECESSITATES A CHANGE IN ANOTHER FACTOR IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN IMAGE QUALITY, IT IS THIS FACTOR THAT IS USED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CHANGE IN SID
WHAT IS MAS
THIS DEVICE CAN MAKE THE SIZE OF THE RADIATION FIELD INCREASE OR DECREASE
WHAT IS A COLLIMATOR
AN IMAGE THAT IS BLACK IN THE DARKEST AREAS AND WHITE IN THE LIGHTEST AREAS IS SAID TO HAVE THIS
WHAT IS HIGH CONTRAST
THIS RADIATION UNIT IS USED TO MEASURE RADIOACTIVITY OF PARTICLES
WHAT IS BEQUEREL (Bq)
THE FREQUENCY OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC SINE WAVE IS DEFINED AS
THE NUMBER OF TIMES PER SECOND THAT A CREST PASSES A GIVEN POINT
WHAT IS INCREASED CONTRAST
IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE PENETRATION OF THE XRAY BEAM, THIS FACTOR SHOULD BE INCREASED
WHAT IS KVP
KILOVOLTAGE, GRID USE, PATIENT SIZE, BODY PART, AND FIELD SIZE ALL HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON THIS IMAGING FACTOR
WHAT IS RECEPTOR EXPOSURE
THIS RADIATION UNIT IS DETERMIED BY MEASURING IONIZATION OF AIR
What is Coulomb per kilogram (C/Kg)
XRAYS ARE A TYPE OF WHAT KIND OF ENERGY?
WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
WHEN A LARGE OID CAUSES POOR IMAGE DETAIL, THIS CAN BE USED TO COMPENSATE TO SOME DEGREE BY INCREASING IT
WHAT IS SID
IN ORDER TO INCREASE DENSITY OF THE IMAGE, THIS FACTOR SHOULD BE INCREASED?
WHAT IS MAS
UNEQUAL MAGNIFICATION OF VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE RADIOGRAPHIC SUBJECT AFFECTS THE IMAGE FACTOR CALLED THIS
WHAT IS DISTORTION
THIS RADIATION UNIT IS USED TO MEASURE DOSE EQUIVALENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE
WHAT IS SIEVERT (SV)
THIS TYPE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY HAS THE SHORTEST WAVELENGTH
WHAT ARE XRAYS
IF YOU INCREASE "THIS" YOU WILL HAVE INCREASED MAGNIFICATION AND DECREASED IMAGE DETAIL
WHAT IS OID
HE WAS THE INVENTOR OF THE HOT CATHODE XRAY TUBE AND IT IS NOW THE PROTOTYPE OF THE XRAY TUBES OF TODAY
WHO IS COOLIDGE
THIS RADIATION UNIT MEASURES PATIENT DOSE
WHAT IS A GRAY (GY)
