Exposure timers

QuestionAnswer
Using AEC, a 50 speed is mistakenly used instead of a 400 speed IR. What will occur? insuffient optical density
the use of an impulse or synchronous timer in a single phase will permit exposure times as short as 17 ms (1/60)
timer circuits are located in the _________ circuits for safety reasons primary
what is the likely cause of an excessively long AEC exposure? failure to properly center the x-ray tube
thsi terminates an AEC exposure Thyristor
most common type of device in a modern 3 phase timer circuit is a silicon controlled rectifier. what is the smallest exposure that it is capble of? 1 millisecond (.001)
where are the ioniztion type sensors located? between the table and the grid in the bucky tray
For AEC, falure to utilize the proper factors will result in a radiograph possessing excessive or insufficient optical density
a minus 2 setting in the density control setting is the equivalent of how much of a reduction in the mAs value? 50%
