I am the basic unit of all matter
What is the atom
100
I am responisble for creating biological change in living tissue at any exposure amount.
What is Ionizing radiation
100
I am the processing agent responsible for reducing silver halide crystals to black metallic silver.
What is the Developing agent
100
I am a type of film that is held in a rectangular casette that needs intensifying screens attached to help expose me properly.
What is Panoramic film
100
I am the anatomical structure that appears as a radiolucent "cloud" above the maxillary molar film.
What is the maxillary sinus
200
I am the power that holds electrons in their orbit of an atom.
What is Electrostatic force
200
I am the type of effect that produces biological changes in the reprodutive cells of the exposed individual.
What is genetic effects
200
I am the resultant film that appears overall, too light.
What is an underdeveloped film / underexposed film
200
I am the size film that is used exclusively for occlusal techniques.
What is Size 4
200
I am the resoration that appears as a radiopacity inside the individual root canals of a tooth.
What is Gutta Percha
300
I am responsible for the Quality of an x-ray beam.
What is KvP
300
I am the location a radiographer should be standing while exposing a patient to radiation
What is 6 feet away
300
I am an error that appears as a yellow brown stain on the x-ray film.
What is insuffient fixing or rinsing time
300
I am the exposure technique that creates the illusion of "open contacts"
What is the Bitewing Technique
300
I am the anatomical structure that appears as a radiopaque J or U above the maxillary molars, and below the orbit of the eye.
What is the Zygomatic Process
400
I am the portion of the tube where the electron "cloud" is created.
What is the tungsten filament
400
I am the number one method to protect the patient from unecessary exposure to radiation.
What is Fast film
400
I am an error in processing that appears as black spots on the film.
What is developer contamination
400
I am the technique that requires the film to be placed further away from the tooth, parallel with the long axis of the tooth, and the central ray perpendicular to the film.
What is the Paralleling technique
400
I am the restoration that appears as a radiolucent "Shell" around any one specific tooth. hint: I am found often in the anterior area for cosmetic reasons
What is a porcelain or ceramic crown or veneer
500
I help filter the long wavelength, low energy x-rays within the tubehead
What is aluminum filtration
500
I am the maximum permissable dose for the occupationally exposed individual.
What is 5.0 rems/yr
500
I am the error in exposing that results in images that appear too short (too much vertical angle)
What is foreshortening
500
I am the technique that allows an individual to discern the location of an object on the buccal/lingual plane. My rule requires a comparison radiograph
What is localization technique /S.L.O.B. Rule
