Question	Answer
Source of x-rays	X-ray tube
X-ray tube is surrounded by a lead-lined	Tube housing
X-rays that are created exit the tube housing through an opening called the	Tube port

Radiation that leaves the tube is called	Primary radiation
The squared area of the X-ray beam that strikes a patient and x-ray table is	Radiation field
An imaginary line in the center of the X-ray beam and perpendicular to the long axis of the X-ray	Central Ray
Journey x-ray exposure x-rays from the tube are directed through the patient	Image receptor
Anatomic structures that have greater tissue density such as bone	Will absorb more radiation than less dense tissue such as muscle
Radiation that exits on the opposite side of the patient is called	Remnant radiation or exit radiation
The image receptor or IR that contains the unseen image is called a	Latent image
Absorption of the X-ray beam is called	Attenuation
What is the primary source of scattered radiation	The patient
X-ray photons leaving the X-ray tube before they interact with matter	Primary radiation
X-ray photons that interact with matter and scatters in	Scattered radiation
X-ray photons that reach the	Remnant radiation makes the image
X-rays and visible light properties	Travel in straight lines affect photographic emulsions cause harmful biological effects
X-rays	1 Cannot be detected by human senses 2 can penetrate matter 3 can cause certain materials to to fluoresce
Boxlight device attached under tube housing allows operator to vary size of radiation field	Collimator
Primary radiation	X-ray photons leaving the X-ray tube before they interact with matter
Scatter radiation	X-ray photons that interact with matter and scatter in many directions
Remnant radiation	X-ray photons that reach the image receptor remnant makes the image
X-rays consist of	Electromagnetic energy
X-rays have a shorter	Wavelength and are more penetrating
Electromagnetic energy properties	Light x-rays radio waves microwaves
Which kvp will will result in the most penetration 60 kvp or 80 kvp	80 kvp
Most frequent adverse incident in x-ray room	Patient falling
AEC	Auto exposure control or phototiming
Primary radiation	X-ray photon leaving tube before interaction with matter
Scattered radiation	X-ray photons interacting with matter scatters in many directions
Remnant radiation	X-ray photons reach image receptor
Image receptor defined	Device changes x-ray beam into visible image
Sponges are	Radiolucent Does not absorb x-rays
Pattern radiation creates image on film	Remnant
