Question
Answer
Which condition is needed to produce an x ray?   1. a source of electrons 2. a vacuum 3. a large potential difference  
🗑
The function of the cathode is to produce   a thermionic cloud  
🗑
Each of the following is a part of the cathode addembly except the   stator  
🗑
Each of the following is a material of choice for the filament except   Copper  
🗑
Filament materials are chosen for their   high melting points  
🗑
Which of the following would affect the production of a thermionic cloud?   filament diameter, length, and temperature  
🗑
A filament may break due to   vaporization  
🗑
Driving the thermionic cloud from the cathode to the anode requires   a large potential difference  
🗑
The focusing cup has a/an ____ charge   negative  
🗑
X ray photon production occurs at the   anode  
🗑
Tungsten is the metal of choice for the source of x ray photons because of its   high atomic number  
🗑
Pitting of the anode commonly occurs   with extended use  
🗑
Melting of the anode commonly occurs   when the stator fails and the rotor ceases to turn  
🗑
The exact point in the x ray unit where photons are created is   focal spot  
🗑
The physical area of the focal tract affected by the electron beam is the   actual focal spot  
🗑
The area of the focal spot that is projected out of the tube toward the object being radiographed is the   effected focal spot  
🗑
The actual focal spot is controlled by the   length of the filament  
🗑
The only portion of the anode assembly placed outside the vacuum of the envelope is the   stator  
🗑
The function of the stator and rotor assembly is to   rotate the anode  
🗑
The rotor is located ___ the stator and ____ the envelope   inside, inside  
🗑
Insulation of the high voltage components of the tube and absorption of the heat produced by x ray production is achieved through the use of   dielectric oil  
🗑
Fluoroscopy is a ___ radiograph examination   dynamic, static, diagnostic  
🗑
Fluoroscopy is commonly used for observation of   the heart, GI tract, and surgical procedure  
🗑
The fluoroscopic xray tube and image receptor are mounted on a   C Arm  
🗑
Fluoroscopic mA range is commonly ___ mA   0.5 - 5.0  
🗑
During fluoroscopy, the SOD cannot be less than __ inches   20  
🗑
During fluoroscopic image intensification, the primary x ray beam exits the patient and strikes the ___ of the image intensifier   input screen  
🗑
The input screen absorbs __ and emits __   x ray photons, light photons  
🗑
The photocathode absords __ and emits __   light photons, electrons  
🗑
Electrostatic lenses are used to accelerate and focus   electrons  
🗑
The output screen absorbs __ and emits __   electrons, light photons  
🗑
The input screen is __ in shape   concave  
🗑
The shape of the input screen helps to control   distortion  
🗑
Photoemissive materials absorb __ and emit __   light photons, electrons  
🗑
Electrostatic lenses are actually   charge electrodes  
🗑
The greater the voltage supplied to the electrostatic lenses, the __ the acceleration and the __ the focal point to the input screen   greater, closer  
🗑
The edge distortion problem in image intensification tubes called   vignetting  
🗑
The most common solution for quantum mottle is to   increase the fluoro tube mA  
🗑
The standard size cassette for spot filming is   9x9  
🗑
Digitization of the fluoroscopic image permits   storage on a CD, transfer via internet, hard copy printing via laser disc  
🗑
