Question
Answer
what controls scatter?   show
🗑
show incident x-ray photon changes direction with less energy following interaction within patient  
🗑
show 180 degrees  
🗑
show 90 degrees  
🗑
show primary beam  
🗑
show .1% or 1/1000  
🗑
show as energy increases, the percentage of scatter v. absorption increases  
🗑
show pathology such as edema, size of part, improper collimation, atomic # & mass of tissue and barium  
🗑
atomic number   show
🗑
show protons and neutrons in the nucleus  
🗑
barium   show
🗑
show for a part larger than 10 cm. if you use more than 60 kvp  
🗑
scatter and useful density on chest/abdomen   show
🗑
what helps control scatter?   show
🗑
too much scatter does what?   show
🗑
gustav bucky   show
🗑
show in 1920 developed a mechanism which moved the grid during exposure  
🗑
potter/bucky diaphragm means   show
🗑
show to blur out lines and clean up scatter. improves contrast by reducing the amount of scatter reaching the IR  
🗑
DR   show
🗑
CR   show
🗑
oscillating   show
🗑
show moving back and forth during exposure to improve image quality  
🗑
show between the patient and IR  
🗑
construction of grid   show
🗑
show loss of density/ brightness due to absorption of imaging, forms pb strips  
🗑
show parallel, focused, and crisscrossed  
🗑
parallel type   show
🗑
show majority of grids are focused. lines are angled/ tilted inwards to meet divergent of the beam @ a specific focusing difference  
🗑
show most effective grid, two grids one atop another  
🗑
show range of SID you can use  
🗑
non- focused types   show
🗑
show pb lines run in one direction parallel to each other  
🗑
show pb lines run in crisscross formation which improves clean up  
🗑
construction of non- focused grids   show
🗑
show increases SID latitude  
🗑
show manufactured so peripheral grid lines are tilted to meet beam divergence to eliminate peripheral grid cut off. less latitude/ focusing range (grid radius)  
🗑
grid ratio   show
🗑
r= h/d   show
🗑
grid ratio   show
🗑
use of low v. high ratio   show
🗑
show grid ratio = height of pb lines distance between grid lines thickness of innerspace  
🗑
grid frequency   show
🗑
thicker pb strips clean up more scatter t or f?   show
🗑
clamp on grids are used for what?   show
🗑
grid cassettes have   show
🗑
show we use high frequency thin pb lines  
🗑
show potter bucky diaphragm in table bucky. blur out grid lines and motion starts before exposure and stops afterwards.  
🗑
show reciprocating and oscillating  
🗑
patient dose w/grid vs. patient dose w/out grid   show
🗑
k =   show
🗑
show upside down, off level, off center, and off focus  
🗑
upside down   show
🗑
show more common (to light) angled grid or tube, cut-off entire image due to oblique nature, CR cuts across or perpendicular to grid lines  
🗑
off center or   show
🗑
off focus   show
🗑
stroboscopic effect   show
🗑
show film screen technology in which you would use the cassette backwards  
🗑
air gap technique   show
🗑
to prevent OID you would increase what? what is the rule?   show
🗑
show pathology, part size greater than 10-12 cm, and 60>kVp  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
