RADT456

Equipment Operation

QuestionAnswer
What is the function of the image-intensifier tube's input phosphor? Convert x-rays to light
What device changes alternating current to undirectional current? Solid-state diode
What device is used to ensure reproducible radiographs, regardless of different tissue-density? Phototimer
What part of the induction motor is located outside of the glass envelope of the x-ray tube? Stator
Utilizing AEC, if the image is overexposed due to an exposure shorter than the minimum response time, what should the radiographer do? Decrease the millamperage
Where are fractional-focus tubes with a 0.3mm focal spot or smaller used? Magnification radiography
What is magnification radiography used for? To demonstrate small, delicate structures that are difficult to visualize with conventional radiography.
What device converts electrical energy to mechanical energy? Motor
What exam calls for a cassette front to have very low absorption properties? Mammography
What is the relationship between kV and HVL? Direct, increase kV-increase HVL
What is a common cause of pitting of the anode's focal track? Repeated, frequent exposure
What type of x-ray tube is designed to turn off and on quickly and provide multiple short, precise exposures? High speed
What is reproducibility? Exposures repeated at a given technique must provide consistent intensity.

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.
