Question
Answer
special device that allows the operator to easily position both film and patient   cephalostat  
🗑
image receptor found in the intraoral sensor   charge coupled device  
🗑
filmless imaging system tha uses a sensor to caputre images, then coverts the images into electronic pieces and stores them in a computer   digital radiography  
🗑
an image composed of pixels   digital image  
🗑
to convert an image into a digital form that it turn can be processed by a computer   digitize  
🗑
a technique in which the image is captured on an intraoral sensor and then is viewed on a computer monitor   direct digital imaging  
🗑
feature that allows the operator to adjust the milliamperage and kilovoltage settings   exposure controls  
🗑
rediographs taken when large areas of the skull or jaw must be examined   extraoral radiographs  
🗑
imaginary three dimensional horse shoue shaped zone used to focus panoramic radiographs   focal trough  
🗑
imaginary plane that passes through the top of the ear canal and the bottom of the eye socket   frankfort plane  
🗑
an existing radiograph is scanned and converted into a digital form with the use of a charge coupled device camera   indirect digital imaging  
🗑
imaginary line that divides the patients face into right and left sides   midsaggital plane  
🗑
small detector that is placed intraorally to caputre a radiographic image   sensor  
🗑
technique in which a digital image is caputred on phosphor coated plates and then is placed into an electronic processor where a laser scans the plate and produces an image on a computer screen   storage phosphor imaging  
🗑
joint on each side of teh head that allows movement of the mandible   temporomandibular  
🗑
radiographic technique that allows imaging of one layer or section fo the body while blurring images from structures in other planes   tomography  
🗑
when are extraoral radiographs taken   when large areas of teh skull or jaw must be examined or when patients are unable to open their mouths for film placement  
🗑
Panoramic radiographs allow the dentist to   view the entire dentition and related structures on a single film  
🗑
the images on a panoramic film are not as well defined or clear as the images on intraoral films therefore __________ are used to supplement a panoramic film to detect________   bitewing films, dental caries or periapical lesions  
🗑
panoramic radiographs are used to:   locate impacted teeth, observe tooth eruption patterns, detect lesions in the jaw, detect features in the bone, provide an overall view of the mandible and maxilla  
🗑
panoramic radiographs are not used for   substitute for intraoral films, diagnose dental caries, diagnose periodontal disease, diagnose periapical lesions  
🗑
when taking a panoramic radiograph what supplies are used   panoramic xray unit, screen type film, intensifying screens and cassettes  
🗑
if you do not remove all removable metal objects from the facial area you can get what kind of image on your panoramic radiograph   ghost images  
🗑
if the patients lips are not closed during a panoramic radiograph the result is   a dark radioluent shadow that abscures the anterior teeth  
🗑
where should the patient postition the tongue during a panoramic radiograph   in contact with the palate  
🗑
if the tongue is not properly placed during a panoramic radiograph what is the result   a dark radiolucent shadow that obscures the apices of teh maxillary teeth  
🗑
if the patient is positioned with the chin too high when taking a panoramic radiograph the result will be   a reverse smile line  
🗑
if the patient is positioned with the chin too low when taking a panoramic radiograph the result is   an exaggerated smile line will be apparent  
🗑
if the patients anterior teeth are positioned to far back on the bite block what is the result   the anterior teeth appear too fat  
🗑
if the patients anterior teeth are not positioned in the groove on the bite block and are too far forward the teeth appear   to skinny and out of focus  
🗑
if the patient is not standing or sitting with a straight spine what is the result   the cervical spine appears as a radiopacity in the center of the film  
🗑
