Question
Answer
What are the 4 primary exposure factors?   Kvp Ma Time SID  
🗑
What does each control    
🗑
Mas   Ma x time =Mas  
🗑
Is this a direct or indirect relationship?    
🗑
when ever you see distance its what?   Squared  
🗑
Whenever you see time you convert it to what?   A decimal  
🗑
Alara   Cr/dr -histogram  
🗑
Purpose of technique charts   Reference for technique selection for anatomic area. Should be room/specific due to equipment. Considers pathology.  
🗑
If a caliper is used to measure pt. Thickness were should you measure   at CR level  
🗑
Variable kvp chart   Mas remains constant. Kvp values according to part thickness. List baseline kv and use +2 kv per cm  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of a variable kvp chart   variable contrast  
🗑
What are the advantages of a variable kvp chart   Less pt dose (because mas is constant)  
🗑
Fixed kvp chart   Mas varies, is altered for part thickness. Requires at least 30% change to see.  
🗑
100% doubles 50% halves    
🗑
Advantage of a fixed kvp chart   Contrast does not change  
🗑
Disadvantage of a fixed kvp chart   Pt. Dose increases (because your increasing your mas  
🗑
Which chart is better for children   Fixed kvp chart because we can lower our mas  
🗑
chart development   Phantoms, calipers, calculator, objective/subjective- Bt, Std & high contrast  
🗑
When using a variable kvp chart what must be down in order to select kv   A measurement using calipers  
🗑
rules of thumb for peds   infants 0-2 use 1/4 0f mas pre school 2-6 use 1/2 of mas school 6-12 use 3/4 of mas teens >12 no change  
🗑
casts: rule of thumb dry plaster   plaster- dry is easier to penetrate 2 x mas or increase 10 kv  
🗑
casts: rule of thumb wet plaster   plaster- wet is harder to penetrate 3 x mas or increase 15 kv  
🗑
casts: fiberglass   increase 5 kv  
🗑
beam restriction: rules of thumb when collimating   from 14x 17 to 10 x 12 from 14x 17 to 8x 10 40% more mas or +5 kv 60% more mas or +10 kv  
🗑
how are ma and time related   indirectly  
🗑
ma controls   quantity and density  
🗑
time controls   motion and recorded detail  
🗑
technique conversion formula for ma and time   ma x t = mas ma1= t2 ma2 t1  
🗑
technique conversion formula for mas and distance   based upon isl (what is law and formula) mas1=(sid1)2 if no time just use ma mas2 (sid2)2 if no ma just use time DISTANCE IS ALWAYS SQUARED IN FORMULAS  
🗑
how are mas and distance related   direct relationship  
🗑
technique conversion formulas   15% kvp rule: if increase kvp by 15% will double density and decrease contrast if decrease kvp by 15% will half density and increase contrast  
🗑
compensation for changes in kvp to change contrast but maintain density   incr. 15%= 1/2 mas (50%) decr. 15%= 2 x mas (100%)  
🗑


   

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.
