Question
Answer
The warming sleeve on the power injector is designed to keep contrast at a temperature of about:   37 degrees C  
🗑
A patient's angulated x-ray view is 60 degree LAO, 30 degree cranial. In this view the image intensifier may touch the patient's   Left shoulder  
🗑
A contrast agent with an osmolarity of 300 milliosmoles would be considered:   Iso-osmolar  
🗑
A bulging or aneurysmal LV wall segment is termed:   Dyskinetic  
🗑
When you increase the X-ray tube filament temperature, you are increasing the:   mA - you get more dots with more heat  
🗑
T or F- X-rays can cause tissue damage because when they strike an atom of human tissue they may remove an orbital electron   True  
🗑
T or F? Internal mammary bypass grafts can be studied easily from the contralateral brachial approach   False, should be ipsilateral/ same side for best view  
🗑
When power injecting an LV gram which of the following would not be a setting that you could enter to direct the injection? Rate of rise or transition time; viscosity constant for contrast; pressure limit; duration of injection; vol. of injectate   Viscosity constant for the contrast  
🗑
What component of an X-ray system is positively charged?   Rotating tungsten anode  
🗑
The resolution in line pairs/mm of an imaging system describes all of the following EXCEPT: Image sharpness; Visibility of anatomical detail; Depth of penetration; Differentiation between closely spaced objects; Discrimination of small structures   Depth of penetration  
🗑
Characterstic radiation refers to x-rays generated by:   dislodging a K-shell electron  
🗑
Which of the following angiographic views would best display the aortic arch vessels?   45 LAO  
🗑
In new x-ray systems, flat panel detectors are currently replacing the:   cylindrical image intensifier  
🗑
99% of the energy used by the x-ray generator exists in the form of:   waste heat  
🗑
Collimation of the x-ray beam involves filters made of:   Lead  
🗑
The rotating anode in the x-ray generator is made of :   Tungsten  
🗑
Chest leads made of carbon filament do not show up under fluoroscopy because they are:   radiolucent  
🗑
The most damaging radiation comes from the   primary beam  
🗑
One Sievert =   100 REM  
🗑
100 RAD's =   1 Gray  
🗑
in soft tissue 1 Gray approximately equals   1 Sievert (in soft tissue Grays and Sieverts are the same; 1:1)  
🗑
Landauer reports indicate film badge exposure in   Millirems  
🗑
The reduction of electromagnetic energy as radiation passes trhought matter is called:   Attenuation  
🗑
The iodine in contrast is:   Radio-opaque  
🗑
Can x-rays be focused using electrostatic lenses?   No, there is no charge in x-rays  
🗑
Ionizing radiation damages tissue by:   removing an orbital electron  
🗑
mAs determines:   the number of photons being produced  
🗑
Coronary angio on a large pt in a steeply angulated view: the primary change made by the automatic cine exposure system to maintain adequate penetration is to increase:   kV  
🗑
Which of the following effects both the quality and quantity of the primary x-ray beam? kVp; mA; mAs; Exposure time; None of the above   kVp because it also increases the mA  
🗑


   

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.
