Film age expired | Fog |
Which layer of intensifying screen is closest to the film? | Protective layer |
Which layer of the intensifying screen is the farthest from the film? | Base |
What is the term generally used to describe the emission of light from a substance as a result of external stimulation? | Luminescence |
What is the term specifically used to describe the emission of light during and after external stimulation? | Phosphorescence |
What is the term specifically used to describe the emission of light during stimulation only? | Fluorescence |
What is measured by comparing an exposure without an intensifying screen to an exposure with an intensifying screen? | Intensification factor |
What does the term image noise describe? | An image with noticeable quantum mottle |
What is the outermost layer of radiographic film called? | Supercoat |
What are the physical imperfections in the emulsion layer of radiographic film called? | Sensitivity Specks |
What kind of radiographic film is designed to respond specifically to x-radiation and not to the light emitted from intensifying screens? | Direct exposure film |
When a film has the emulsion coated on both sides of the base versus one side of the film is referred to as: | Double exposure film |
What influences the speed of radiographic film? | The number of silver halide crystals in the emulsion and the size of the silver halide crstals |
What is achieved when the color of light emitted by an intensifying screen matches the color of light a film responds to? | Spectral matching |
What is the purpose of the intensifying screen? | To reduce the amount of exposure |
Increasing the thickness of the phosphor layer: | Increases speed, decreases recorded detail, and decreases patient dose |
What is used to assess screen film contact? | Wire mesh test tool |
The front or tube side of radiographic cassettes should be made of a material that: | Absorbs very little of the x-ray beam |
