Question
Answer
what would be the only advantage of a linear parallel grid over a linear focus grid?   show
🗑
what is the advantage of a focus grid over a linear grid   show
🗑
show parallel grid  
🗑
show grid cutoff  
🗑
show Crossed Grid. No  
🗑
show *  
🗑
show move out the grid line. oscillating and receptacle  
🗑
does the grid start before or after exposure   show
🗑
show the height of the grid divided by the interspace width. grid ratio= h/D h(height of grid) D(Interspace material) it can be aluminum(Best), plastic or carbon fiber  
🗑
show get smaller. More  
🗑
what are the rules of thumb for using a grid   show
🗑
whats the formula for grid ratio   show
🗑
what are some common grid ratio's we might use?   show
🗑
show grid frequency. *  
🗑
if we were doing film screen technology what would be the most efficent grid you could buy   show
🗑
bucky factor   show
🗑
contrast improvement factor   show
🗑
what is the air-gap   show
🗑
whats an alternative when using film screen technology   show
🗑
show thick lead lines  
🗑
show lead  
🗑
show carbon fiber, plastic, aluminum  
🗑
what two factors determine grid efficency   show
🗑
show increase patient dose  
🗑
what is the main purpose of a grid   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
show because everything is being absorbed  
🗑
show 50, 90  
🗑
show weaken photons from patient that change direction  
🗑
what technical factor controls amount of scatter produce   show
🗑
show pathology,type of tissue,thickness  
🗑
show more  
🗑
show high grid ratios(thiner interspace), low frequency (thicker lead lines)  
🗑
so if you have less of an interspace and thick lead lines, very effiecent grid. do you have a lot of positioning latitude   show
🗑
show better contrast, improved visibility detail  
🗑
show density difference, more black than white  
🗑
if we increase the ratio of the grid to make it more efficent, what do we have to do to our techniques to compenstate for the loss of density   show
🗑
show kvp  
🗑
where is the highest % of scatter produced   show
🗑
show 1/1000 or .1%  
🗑
show adipose, muscle(fluid filled)  
🗑
show No, But they will reduce after it is produced.  
🗑
show 117 high. thicker than 10 cm, so use grid. more, higher  
🗑
show low kvp 70-80, so use intermediate speed grid(10:1, 12:1)  
🗑
what grid ratio do we use on portable xrays   show
🗑
why is it better to do kvp than mas   show
🗑
show 5:1(2), 6:1(3), 8:1(4), 12:1(5), 15:1(6)  
🗑
what is the definition of grid cutoff   show
🗑
show severe peripheral, where both lung shadows should be  
🗑
show more to one side than another  
🗑
what is the purpose of using a focus grid vs. a parallel grid   show
🗑
show periphreal  
🗑
show image would be light*  
🗑
show go down, so increase kvp or mas to maintain it, and the contrast improves  
🗑


   

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.
