Weston Price bisecting angle
study of technique radiograph
study of interpretation radiology
DDD density of the degree of the darkness of the film
2D representation of 3d objects radiograph
difference between black, white and grey shadows Contrast
number of protons Atomic number
number of protons + neutrons Atomic mass
Unstable isotope, Tends to release RADIATION in the process of trying to be stable radioisotope
Letters in electron shells KLMNO
letters in subshells SPDFG
An electron goes to another shell then goes back, producing LIGHT as byproduct excitation
When an electron gets deflected/leaves/removed away making the atom positive ionization
Incoming electron interacts with the outermost electron shell, producing heat HEAT PRODUCING COLLISIONS
incoming electron penetrates the outer electron shells and passes close to the nucleus X-RAY PRODUCING COLLISIONS
Heart of the x-ray generating system X-ray Tube
negatively charged electrode Produce electrons cathode
responsible for the production of electrons when heated Tungsten filament -
- directs the electrons towards the focal spot of tungsten target Focusing cup / Molybdenum cups
positively charged electrode Converts the electrons to become x-ray photons anode
- converts the electrons to become x-ray photons Tungsten target
- good thermal conductor, reduces the risk of target melting Copper stem
the branch of biology concerned with the effects of ionizing radiation on living systems RADIOBIOLOGY
→ organisms that cannot tolerate high level of ionizing radiation RADIOSENSITIVE
→ organisms that are capable of living in environments high level of ionizing radiation RADIORESISTANT
→ has the power to create charged ions by deflecting the electrons in an atom IONIZING RADIATION
→ has the power to change the position of the electron in the atom NON-INONIZING RADIATION
Electrons move in predetermined circular or elliptical shells
general radiation is also called Bremsstrahlung

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
