What is kVp (Kilovoltage peak)
Cleaning of the roller transports and the solutions in the automatic processor should be accomplished on this interval.

What is SIX (6) feet?
This measurement describes the distance between the body part and the x-ray tube.
Source to Image Distance (SID)

What is the C1-T1?
The "X" in X-ray stands for this.
What "New" or "Unknown" Ray?
These Four (4) safety precautions should always be taken.
What is:
1. NEVER stand in the path of the central X-ray beam during exposure
2. NEVER hold the X-ray film packet in the patient's mouth during a dental exposure
3. NEVER hold the tube head or the tube head cylinder of the X-ray machine during exposure
4. ALWAYS stand behind a lead-lined window during an exposure
These two SID's are commonly used in Radiography.
