RAD 110 Exam 2

Part 5

QuestionAnswer
Endochondral ossification produces short, irregular, and long bones
Primary Endochondral Ossification forms long central shaft (diaphysis) in long bones
Secondary Endochondral Ossification Epiphyseal plate eventually forms Epiphyseal line forms when they completely join
Secondary Endochondral Ossification separate bones develop at both ends of long bones, ends are called epiphyses
Synarthroses immovable
Amphiarthroses slightly movable
Diarthroses freely movable
Fibrous Joints Do not have a joint cavity or cartilage
Syndesmosis Slightly movable fibrous joint united by fibrous sheets. Example: inferior tibiofibular joint
Cartilaginous Joints Do not have a joint cavity, but do have cartilage
Symphysis Slightly movable cartilaginous joint separated by a pad of fibrocartilage designed for strength and shock absorbency
Synchondrosis Immovable cartilaginous joint united by rigid hyaline cartilage
Example of Symphysis joint pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints
Example of Synchondrosis joint epiphyseal plate
Gliding Joint Uniaxial: glide in one axis
Hinge Joint Uniaxial movement: flexion & extension
Pivot Joint Uniaxial movement: Rotates around an axis
Ellipsoid Joint Biaxial movement: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction
Saddle Joint allows biaxial movement
Ball-and-Socket Joint Permits widest range of motion
Ball-and-Socket Joint example Hip and shoulder
Saddle Joint examples 1st carpometacarpal joint (thumb joint)
Ellipsoid Joint examples Radiocarpal (wrist) joint and Metatarsophalangeal
Pivot Joint examples atlantoaxial joint (C1-C2 joint) and radioulnar (both distal and proximal)
Hinge Joint examples Elbow, Knee, Interphalangeal and Tibiotalar
Gliding Joint examples intercarpal, Intertarsal, proximal tib/fib, and zygapophyseal joints
___________are more sensitive to scatter radiation. Digital IR's
Digital Imaging Technique The use of a grid and collimation are more critical
Higher kVp & Lower mAs Lowers patient dose!
Contrast resolution in film is primarily controlled by? kVp
Contrast resolution in Digital is primarily controlled by? Bit Depth, LookUp Table, and Window Width
Brightness in film is primarily controlled by? mAs
Brightness in digital is primarily controlled by? Automatic rescaling, Window level, and Brightness of monitor
What is the purpose of calipers To measure the thickness of the patient part
In radiographic imaging, penumbra is best described as The unsharpness at the edges of structures caused by factors altering the geometry of the beam
What is the primary purpose of a compensating filter in radiographic imaging? To prevent overexposure of thinner or less dense anatomy
Select all that are required on an x-ray Date of exam, Anatomical marker, Patient name (or ID number), and Name of imaging facility
If OID decreases, then spatial resolution _____________ because magnification ______________. increases; decreases
Film Can never be a direct radiography system
Digital Can have images that display quantum mottle
If the mAs is too low in a digital image, what will you see? A grainy image with appropriate bightness
