Equipment
This part of the machine is lined with lead and helps to aim the central beam.
PID Positioning Indicator Device
Which type of radiation is deflected once it interacts with matter?
Scatter
A shadow or blur directly behind an image
umbra
Which image shows the maxillary and mandibular crowns of the premolars and molars
BWX
What is the most important aspect of obtaining a diagnostic extraoral image?
Patient positioning
This part of the machine contains the master switch and settings.
Control Panel
weightless waves of energy created by unbalanced electrons
Ionizing Radiation
The overall darkness of an image is
density
A type of direct digital receptor for IO images
Sensor CCD
This type of imaging captures 200-600 images and combines them to create a 3D image that is very detailed
CBCT Cone Beam Computed Tomography
This part of the machine contains cords, wires, and holds the tubehead.
Extension Arm
Radiation waves that leave the tubehead and are aimed at a target
Primary
The amount of electrical flow or current, affects intensity of the radiation
mA milliamperage
A receptor that captures an image but has to be "scanned" in order to see the image
PSP Plate
If patients are not positioned within this zone or layer will appear blurred or distorted on a PAN image
Focal Trough
The Anode is also known as the?
Tungsten Target
Radiation that interacts with the patient or matter
Secondary
The shades or degrees of gray, black, or white on an image is
contrast
An image that displays the occlusal, root, and apex of a posterior tooth
Posterior periapical
Which setting on the control panel cannot be adjusted for a PAN image?
Exposure Time
The cathode is also known as the?
Tungsten Filament
Movement of invisible waves of energy that travel at the speed of light
Electromagnetic Radiation
The power of the primary beam, or potential power.
kVp kilovoltage peak
An image that shows either the maxillary or mandibular arch, often taken with a larger size receptor
occlusal
This is type of skull radiology shows the face, skull, and cervical spine
Lateral Cephalometric Projection
