        Help!  

Term
Definition
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen   He discovered the first X-RAY in 1895  
🗑
Primary Radiation   Central beam that comes from the X-Ray tubehead  
🗑
Secondary Radiation   When the primary X-Rays hit the patient or contact matter  
🗑
Scatter Radiation   Deflected from its path as it strikes matter. most dangerous to operators, so 6 ft of clearance is necessary  
🗑
Leakage Radiation   leaks in all directions from the tubehead  
🗑
M.P.D (maximum permissible dose)   maximum amounts of radiation that wouldn't be expected to produce any significant effects in a lifetime. Amount is 0.05 SV (5.0 REMs)  
🗑
Dosimeter Badge   Must be worn at all times in the dental office. used t monitors an individuals radiation exposure in the office  
🗑
Kilovoltage   the quality or penetrating power of the central beam. the higher the KV the higher the power  
🗑
miliamperage   the amount or quality of electrons  
🗑
Control Panel   the circuit board and controls that allow the operator to adjust the correct setting for each patient  
🗑
Collimeter   a lead disk with an opening in the middle that reconstructs the beam and filters out additional weak rays  
🗑
Density   the degree of darkness on an X-ray  
🗑
Contrast   The difference between the shades of gray  
🗑
Least Sensitive   kidney, muscle, nerves  
🗑
Less Sensitive   mature bone, salivary glands and liver  
🗑
Moderately Sensitive   Skin, intestinal tract, oral mucosa  
🗑
Most Sensitive   lymphnoid, reproductive cells, bone marrow, intestinal epithelium, thyroid  
🗑
Sensitive   connective tissue and growing bone  
🗑
Film Sensitivity   stray radiation, high temperature, chemicals  
🗑
Cone Cutting   X-Ray beam missed part of the film  
🗑
Elongation   vertical angulation error caused by to little angulation  
🗑
Foreshortening   vertical angulation error caused by to much angulation  
🗑
Overlapping   angled toward the mesial or distal surfaces  
🗑
Dark Film   over developing, developing solution to high/low, solution is to strong or when the film is left in the developer to long  
🗑
Fogged Film   gray image, image detail is lost contrast is lessened  
🗑
Partial Image   film placement in the processing tanks when the solution levels are low  
🗑
Film Artifacts   images found on the X-ray that are not part of the normal anatomy or pathology  
🗑
Clear Film   there is no image on the film caused by no exposure  
🗑
Double Exposure   indistinct images or dark X-ray. can be avoided by keeping the film sperated  
🗑
Blurred Image   movement from the patients head, the tubehead or the X-ray film moving around in the patients mouth  
🗑
Light Film   under processed. can occur while exposing film and during processing  
🗑
Brown Stain   improper/ insufficient washing or rinsing of the film during the processing sequence  
🗑
streaks On Film   unclean rollers or X-ray racks  
🗑
Automatic Processor Temperature   Between 82*-95* degrees F  
🗑
Periapical Views   pictures the entire tooth and surrounding areas. used to assess the health of the tooth, bone and tissues  
🗑
Cephalometric   used to assess the patients skeletal structure and profile  
🗑
Shades Of Gray   a computer can display over 200 different shades but the human eye can only detect 32  
🗑
Gray Scale   important for determining the condition or the teeth, tissues and surrounding bone  
🗑
Focal Trough   also known as an "image layer" or "sharpness" is a 3D curved zone in which dental arches are positioned to achieve the sharpest image  
🗑
Crystals   the larger the crystals the faster the film  
🗑
Bite-Wing Radiographs   pictures the crown, interproximal space and the crest area of the alveolar bone on the maxilla/mandible teeth  
🗑
Occlusal Radiographs   shows large areas of the dental arch placed on the occlusal surface./ used to locate fractures, impacted teeth, foreign bodies and identifying the ocation of other artificats  
🗑
Tomography   the imaging of one layer or section of the body while blurring images from other areas. the principle of panoramic radiographs  
🗑
Panoramic Radiographs   show the entire maxilla and mandible on one film  
🗑
Intensifying Screens   what the cassettes for panoramic radiographs are lined with. phosphor is used on the screens which emits light when struck y X-rays green are rare earth and blue are calcium tungstate  
🗑
Extraoral Radiograph   used by dentist to identify large areas of the skull on one film  
🗑
Digital Advantages   less radiation to patient, appears on the monitor immediately, patient can view while doctor explains, less space for storage, darkroom, processing equipment, and solution eliminated and easily coppied  
🗑
Digital Disadvantages   the cost, extra time in training, uncomfortable for patient, updates and viruses plus infection control  
🗑
3D Shows   complete/ partial skull fields of view. used to produce digital panoramic and cephalometric images, 3D photos and CBVT & CBVI  
🗑
