know the planes of the body

Midsagittal divides the body into equal right and left halves, Coronal divides the body into anterior and posterior portions, transverse divides the body into superior and inferior portions

Standing upright with palms facing forward, facing forward, armms at side,

componets of the xray imaging system

X-Ray tube, generator, and image receptor

refers to the amount of useful disgnostic information obtained from an image: density, contrast, sharpness, and visibilityj of anatomy

diagnostic efficiency

follows the ALARA principle; best possible diagnostic image with the least amount of radiation, time, and resources

principles of manipulation of radiographic equipment

SID,OID, CR Angle,Tube rotation, collimcation, exposure factors, and positioning devices to achieve optimal images

major controls of the radiographic control console

kVp: controls beam energy/ penetration and affects contrast mAs:controls quantity of x-rays and receptor exposure Time(seconds): lenght of exposure

purpose of collimation

restricts the size and shape of the x-ray beam: reduces patients and scatter radiation, improves image contrast, protects radiosensitive tissues.

different types of x-ray tables

fixed radiographic tabel: stationary table used for routine exam floating table: tabletop moves in multiple directions for positions elevating table: adjusts height for patinets accessibility trauma table: designed for injured patients who cannot move

speciality radiology suites and uses

Fluroscopy suite: real-time imaging CT Suite: Cross-Sectional imaging MRI Suite: Magnetic imaging Mammography Suite: Breast imaging Angiography Suite: Vascular Imaging

define radiographic projection/

the direction/path of the central ray through the patient from entrance surface to exit surface and toward the IR

final step before exposure

complete the final check- patient./side, marker, CR, collimation, IR, techniques,motion control- then give breathing/hold instructions

fiberglass cast: how should analog kVp be adjusted?

3-4 kVp for dry fiberglass ccast. use the approved technique chart and exposure index feedback
