Salar's so swag
The rule stating that intensity of radiation decreases as the distance from the source increases.
What is the inverse square law?
The principle that means radiation exposure should be kept as low as possible while achieving diagnostic results.
What is ALARA?
Indications include suspected interproximal caries, defective restorations, and early periodontal disease
What is a bitewing?
Error caused by incorrect horizontal angulation of PID.
What is overlapping?
A form of secondary radiation in which the x-ray's direction changes after interacting with matter.
What is scatter radiation?
The digital imaging method where a sensor captures the image instantly without scanning step.
What is direct digital imaging?
This type of imaging provides an overall view of the maxilla, mandible, and surrounding structures
What is a panoramic?
Radiopaque restoration with smooth borders.
What is a gold restoration?
The most common type of x-ray interaction with matter, accounting for about 62% of interactions.
What is Compton scatter?
The advantage of digital radiography over film that involves changing image contrast or enlarging details for better diagnosis
What is image enhancement?
This technique provides a radiographic image with minimal distortion
What is paralleling?
Error that causes an exaggerated smile line is seen.
What is tipping the chin down / too low?
This component of the x-ray tubehead filters out low-energy, non-penetrating x-rays from the beam.
What is the aluminum filter?
The unit used to measure the biological effects of radiation and its equivalent.
What is Rem or Sievert?
This technique applies the rules of isometry
What is Bisecting?
Intersection of lateral wall of nasal cavity and anterior portion of maxillary sinus.
What is the inverted Y?
This type of radiation accounts for 70% of x-rays in dental radiography and is produced when electrons slow down near the nucleus.
What is bremsstrahlung (braking) radiation?
The law that states cells divide rapidly, are immature, or metabolically active are more sensitive to radiation damage.
What is the Law Of Bergonie and Tribondeau?
Produces diagnostic radiographs as well as minimizes radiation exposure through a plan
What is a quality control plan?
Radiopaque, cone shaped artifact that obscures the mandible.
What is a lead apron error?
