Radt465 EO and QC

ARRT Registry review covering equipment operations and quality control

QuestionAnswer
What type of x-ray tube designed to turn on and off rapidly, providing multiple short, precise exposures? grid-controlled p279
If exposure factors of 85 kV, 400 mA, and 12 ms yield an output exposure of 150 mR, what is the milliroentgens per milliampereseconds (mR/mAs)? 31 p279
What is the minimum response time of automatic exposure control (AEC)? is its shortest possible exposure time p280
What causes pitting, or many small surface melts, of the anode's focal track? Repeated, frequent overloading p280
A parallel-plate ionization chamber receives a particular charge as x-ray photons travel through it. This is the operating principle of which of the following devices? AEC p281
Congruence of the x-ray beam with the light field is testing using what? radiopaque objects p281
As window level increases what happens? brightness increases p282
The voltage ripple associated with a three-phase, six-pulse rectified generator is about what percent? 13% p283
The device that receives the remnant beam, converts it into light, and then increases the brightness of that light is what? image intensifier p283
A high-speed electron entering the tungsten target is attracted to the positive nucleus of a tungsten atom and, in the process, is decelerated. This results in what? Bremsstrahlung radiation p284
A three-phase timer can be tested for accuracy using a synchronous spinning top. The resulting image looks like what? solid arc, with the angle (in degrees) representative of the exposure time p284
The procedure whose basic operation involves reciprocal motion of the x-ray tube and film is what? tomography p284
In fluoroscopy, the automatic brightness control is used to adjust what? kilovoltage (kV) and milliamperage (mA) p284
Star and wye configurations are related to what? three-phase transformations p284
What is the device that directs the light emitted from the image intensifier to various viewing and imaging apparatus? Beam splitter p285
As electrons impinge on the anode surface, less than 1% of their kinetic energy is changed to what? x-rays p285
How many half-value layers will it take to reduce an x-ray beam whose intensity is 78R/min to an intensity of less than 10R/min? 3 p286
A device used to ensure reproducible radiographs, regardless of tissue-density variations, is what? automatic exposure control p287
The device used to change alternating current to unidirectional current is what? a solid-state diode p287
To maintain image clarity in an image-intensifier system, the path of electron flow from the photocathode to the output phosphor is controlled by what? electrostatic lenses p287
The image-intensifier tube's input phosphor functions to convert what to what? x-rays to light p287

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
