Question
Answer
caliper   device used to measure part thickness  
🗑
fixed kvp charts   the kvp is held constant for a given range of subject densities while the mas is varied to achieve an appropriate image density  
🗑
variable kvp fixed ma chart   kvp is adjusted for changes in part thickness while maintaining a fixed mas  
🗑
detectors   devices used to measure radiation in an AEC system  
🗑
minimum response time   the shortest exposure time that a particular system can produce  
🗑
backup time   maximum length of time the x-ray exposure will continue  
🗑
three   number of detectors an AEC system generally have  
🗑
good positioning skills   most important skill a radiographer should possess when using an AEC system  
🗑
anatomically programmed radiography   a radiographic system that combines an AEC system with a technique chart that is computerized to correspond to anatomical procedures  
🗑
six hundred mas   backup time exposure should not exceed this  
🗑
one milisecond   minimum response time in order to cut exposure  
🗑
autotomography   breathing technique  
🗑
APR   anatomically programmed radiography  
🗑
light paddles   detectors used in photomultiplier tube  
🗑
photomultiplier tube   type of AEC that gives off light when radiation hits it  
🗑
electricity   photomultiplier tube converts light to this  
🗑
ionization chamber   hollow cell that contains air and is connected to the timer circuit by an electrical wire  
🗑
entrance type   type of AEC whose detectors are positioned in front of the cassette  
🗑
exit type   type of AEC whose detectors are behind the cassette  
🗑
Kilovoltage peak   controls the potential difference between the cathode and anode and causes the electrons to flow between cathode and anode  
🗑
MA   factor controlling the number of electrons which wil flow from cathode to anode during x-ray exposure  
🗑
tube current   term used to describe the number of electrons flowing across the tube  
🗑
small focal spot   will produce more radiographic detail when used; most often with extremities  
🗑
Critical   part measurement for variable kvp/fixed mas charts is what  
🗑
Shorter   the scale of contrast for variable kvp/fixed mAs is what  
🗑
Variable   is what radiographic contrast is for variable kvp/fixed mAs  
🗑
Higher   patient dose is thisfor variable kvp/fixed mAs  
🗑
increased   tube heat load is this for variable kvp/fixed mAs  
🗑
less critical   part measurement for fixed kvp/variable mAs  
🗑
longer   contrast scale for fixed kvp/variable mAs  
🗑
standardized   radiographic contrast for fixed kvp/variable mAs  
🗑
lower   patient dose for fixed kvp/variable mAs  
🗑
decreased   tube heat load for fixed kvp/variable mAs  
🗑


   

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.
