equipt operation

ARRT registry review on equipt operation

questionAnswer
true/false: Thermionic emission is associated with the anode. False. It is associated with the cathode.
What is automatic exposure control? The minimum response time or minimum reaction time.
What does a step-up transformer do to the voltage? increases the voltage.
What happens to the xrays beam as the kVp is increased? the energy of the beam increases.
What happens when a large quantity of heat is applied to a cold anode? the anode can crack.
What are the two priniple parts of an induction motor? stator and rotor.
What is the purpose of a phototimer? to automatically terminate the x-ray exposure once the film is correctly exposed.
What terms refers to an images recorded detail? spatial resolution
What does a spinning top test for? the efficiency of a single-phase timer.
What does reproducibility mean? Repeated exposures at a given technique must provide consistent intensity.
What is inherent filtration? filtration that is built into the construction of the x-ray tube.
True/False. PACS systems receive analog images. False PACS systems receive digital images.
Define current. The amount of electric charge flowing per second.
What percent of energy is converted to x-rays during an x-ray exposure? Less than 1%
What type of interaction takes place in bremsstrahlung x-ray production? braking or slowed down interaction.
What is the biggest factors effecting AEC? patient thickness and densities.
What is the purpose of a rectifier? to change AC into unidirectional current by allowing current to flow through them in only one direction.
What is the main difference between single-phase and three-phase equiptment? Voltage never drops to zero in three-phase equiptment.
What happens as the anode angle is decreased? a larger actual focal spot may be used while still maintaining the same small effective focal spot.
Which x-ray interaction contributes to occupational dose? Compton interaction.

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.
