Question | Answer |
---|---|
Seperately analyze ROI when more than one exposure is made | Exposure field recognition, partition pattern recognition , segmentation |
Failure of exposure field recognition | poor overlapping, poor collimation, scatter, |
Narrow Histogram (contrast) | Long scale contrast, more grays, low contrast |
Wide Histogram (Contrast) | Short scale contrast, more black and whites, high contrast |
APR | Anatomically Programmed Radiography |
Anatomically programmed radiography | Selects processing algorithm, selecting anatomic part and particular projection on control panel. Histogram |
Look up Tabel (LUT) | Characteristeic Curve, Each of their tonal values and their distribution in the x-ray image |
Rate at which electrons flow | Amperage |
Where should compression paddles be applied | Distal ends of ureters |
Absorbed dose measured in | Gray |
Preferred Fluoro technique | High kVp, low mAs |
What must be included on a radiographic image | Patient name, DOB, exam date, facility, Right or left marker |
To eject a k-shell electron from the tungsten atom, the incoming electron must have an energy of at least | 70 keV |
kV settings must be tested annually and must be accurate to within | +/- 4 keV |
What feature is used to display RIS information on currentn patients | Modality Worklist |
What are the two interactions at the anode | Brems and Characteristic |
Bundles of energy | photon |
Size of wavelength of x-ray | Angstrom 10^(-10) m |
Primary beam | from x-ray tube focal spot |
Photoelectric effect High or low energy | Low energy (low kV) |
Compton Scatter High or low energy | High energy (high kV) |
Which interaction does no ionization occur | Coherent Scatter |
Another name for Coherent Scatter | Unmodified scatter, Classical Scatter |
Which interaction ejects an outer shell electron | Compton Scatter |
Which scatter poses little risk to patient | Compton Scatter- image fog |
Interaction with matter that is responsible for the majority of scatter radiation reaching IR | Compton Scatter |
Step up transformer turns ration | High:low Greater the ratio, greater the voltage increase |
Fixed ratio transformer | Autotransformer |
Self induction | Autotransformer |
Mutual induction | Step-up, step-down |
How does autotransformer work | Sends correct amount of voltage to the primary coil of the high-voltage transformmer to be stepped up to required kV level |
Where is rectification system located | between the secondary coil of high-voltage transormer and x-ray tube |
Solid-state diodes | Rectifiers, semiconductive materials, Silicon, selenium or germanium. Conduct electricity only in one direction |

Tungsten atomic number | 74 |
Material of filament | tungsten |
material of anode | Tungsten (and Rhenium) Rhenium prevents pitting |
rotation speed of induction motor | 3600-10,000 rpms |
Blooming | high mA, focal spot can become hot enough to temporarily grow in size, deminishing resolution |
QC Collimator accuracy | 2% SID |
Combination greatest heat-loading capability | small target angle, larger actual focal spot |
Which portion of x-ray beam is the effective focal spot the smallest | anode end |
What x-ray tube components is not located within the glass envelope | stator |
Accuracy of the timer must be within | 5% of the time chosen for exposures over 100 ms |
