QuestionAnswer
WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE OF SUBSTANCE? MOLECULE WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE AND IS COMPOSED OF ATOMS
WHAT IS TE COMPOSITION OF AN ATOM? NUCLEUS-PROTON(+), NEUTRON(0 CHARGE) & ELECTRON(-)
WHAT SHELL IS CLOSEST TO THE NUCLEUS? K SHELL, HIGH ENERGY PHOTON ARE REQUIRED TO REMOVE ELECTRONS
WHAT IS IONIZING RADIATION? PRODUCTION OF ION BY ADDING OR REMOVING ELECTRON TO ATOM
WHAT ARE THE 2 TYPES OF IONIZING RADIATION? PARTICULATE AND ELECTROMAGNETIC
WHAT IS PARTICULATE RADIATION? DECAYING SUBSTANCES: PARTICLES THAT POSSESS MASS, TRAVEL IN STRAIGHT LINES, TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS, TRANSMIT KINETIC ENERGY
WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION? X-RAYS, GAMMA RAYS, ETC: WAVELIKE MOVEMENT, W/O MASS, POLYCHROMATIC
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN X-RAYS AND GAMMA RAYS? X-RAYS SOURCE IS ELECTRONS WITHIN X-RAY TUBE, EMITTED DURING DECELERATION OF HIGH ENERGY ELECTRONS; GAMMA RAYS SOURCE IS RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, THOUGH HAS SAME WAVELENGTH AS X-RAYS
WHAT IS X-RADIATION? HIGH ENERGY, IONIZING, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION: SHORT WAVELENGTH, HIGH FREQUENCY, AND HAVE PHOTON ENERGY
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DECREASE WAVELENGTH? INCREASE FREQUENCY, INCREASE ENERGY, INCREASE PENETRATION
WHAT OCCURS TO HIGH ATOMIC # DURING X-RADIATION? INCREASE THICKNESS & DENSITY = INCREASE ABSORPTION
WHAT ARE X-RAYS? BUNDLES F ENERGY WITH 0 CHARGE, TRAVEL IN WAVES, HAS NO MASS, AND CAN CAUSE BIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN LIVING THINGS
WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF X-RAY TUBES? VACUUM TUBE, (1)HIGH VOLTAGE, (2)SOURCE OF ELECTRONS, (3)TARGET/FOCAL SPOT, FILTRATION, COLLIMATION, PRIMARY BEAM
WHAT IS THE IDEAL KVP? 65-100; AFFECTS QUALITY BY CONTROLLING VOLTAGE
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF ELECTRONS? MADE OF TUNGSTEN; MA CONTROLS AMT OF CURRENT/# OF ELECTRONS
WHAT IS THE IDEAL MA? 5-15
WHAT IS THERMIONIC EMISSION EFFECT? ELECTRON CLOUD; BOILING OFF OF ELECTRONS FROM THE FILAMENT
WHAT IS THE TARGET/FOCAL SPOT? MADE OF TUNGSTEN, STOPS ELECTRONS
WHEN ELECTRONS STRIKE TARGET, ENERGY PRODUCES WHAT? 1% X-RAYS & 99% HEAT
WHAT DISSAPATES HEAT GENERATED? COPPER SLEEVE & OIL
WHAT DOES FILTRATION DO? REMOVES LONG, NON-PENETRATING WAVES FROM HETEROGENEOUS X-RAY BEAM: ALUMINUM DISK 1.5-2.5 MM
WHAT DOES COLLIMATION DO? LEAD DIAPHRAM WITH A HOLE, RESTRICTS SIZE AND SHAPE OF BEAM, CIRCULAR OR RECTANGULAR, FED.REGULATION - 2.75 INCH BEAM
WHAT IS THE USEFUL BEAM? PRIMARY BEAM -> FILTRATION + COLLIMATION
WHAT ARE THE TWO ELECTRODES IN THE X-RAY TUBE? ANODE(+) AND CATHODE(-)
EFFECTIVE FOCAL AREA IS SMALLER THAN ____ FOCAL AREA ACTUAL
ELECTRONS VEER OFF COURSE, DUE TO A REDUCTION OF SPEED ARE REFERRED TO AS? BREMSSTRAHLUNG
BLOCKING CURRENT DURING 1/2 OF A CYCLE IS CALLED? RECTIFICATION
WHAT COMPONENT DIRECTS ELECTRONS TOWARD THE TARGET? FOCUSING CUP
THE PID STANDS FOR PATIENT INDICATOR DEVICE
THE X-RAY MACHINE OPERATES ON AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THAT HAS HOW MANY CYCLES/SEC? 60
X-RAYS LEAVE THE TUBE THROUGH WHAT? PORTE
THE CENTER OF THE X-RAY BEAM IS CALLED? CENTRAL RAY

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
