Question
Answer
observable difference between x-ray film and photographic film is   thickness and rigidity of the base  
🗑
principal characteristic of the emulsion that makes it particularly x-ray sensitive is its   sensitivity center  
🗑
average silver halide crystal surface size in radiographic film is   1.0 um  
🗑
radiographic film base appears blue because   a tint is added to make viewing more comfortable  
🗑
celluslose nitrate and cellulose triacetate are used in what component of film   in the film base  
🗑
emulsion that is commonly used in x-ray film consists of   silver halide and gelatin  
🗑
common base in contemporary x-ray film   polyester  
🗑
ensures uniform contact of the emulsion to the base   adhesive layer  
🗑
the overcoat of film usually consists of?   gelatin  
🗑
in film, dimensional stability is the property of maintaining the size and shape of   the base  
🗑
principle purpose of gelatin in film emulsion   support the silver halide crystals uniformly  
🗑
most important property of silver halide in production of the latent image   atomic number  
🗑
x-ray film is sensitive to   x-rays, gamma rays, visible light  
🗑
x-ray film used in radiographic intensifying screens usually has what type of emulsion   emulsion coat on both sides of the base  
🗑
silver bromide is a principal component of what   the silver halide crystals in the emulsion  
🗑
the latent image is formed where   silver halide crystals  
🗑
during the photographic process, metallic silver accumulates where   sensitivity center  
🗑
a collection of silver atoms in the latent image occurs   at the crystal level  
🗑
the sensitivity center is silver __________   sulfide  
🗑
what additive/impurity is added to emulsion to form sensitivity specs   AgBr (silver sulfide)  
🗑
image-forming and remnant are referred to as   the radiation exiting the patient that is responsible for the latent image formation  
🗑
the interstitial atoms in a crystal of silver halide are   silver, bromide, iodine  
🗑
the formation of the latent image follows what interaction with the emulsion   photoelectric effect  
🗑
theory that best explains the photographic effect   gurney-mott theory  
🗑
the difference between fast film and slow film is silver halide crystal __________   concentration  
🗑
the spectral response of an emulsion refers to   absorption of visible light  
🗑
calcium tungstate screen emit what type of light   blue and blue-violet light  
🗑
factors that can cause fog   darkroom light leak, background radiation, humidity, temperature  
🗑
orthochormoatic film is sensitive to what light?   green light  
🗑
rare earth films require what color safelight   red  
🗑
describe mammography film   fine grain film used with a screen  
🗑
most rare earth screen emit what color light   ultraviolet, blue, green and red  
🗑
what are the optimal temps and humidity for storing film   20C/68F or lower with 30-60% humidity  
🗑
film resolution is determined by   size of silver halide crystals  
🗑
smaller crystals result in what type of resolution   higher resolution  
🗑
silver halide crystals are sometimes called   grains/graininess  
🗑
film sensitivity is determined by these factors   silver halide crystal size, number of sensitivity specs and thickness of emulsion layer  
🗑
compare film speed of smaller crystals vs larger crystals   smaller = slower film speed larger = faster film speed  
🗑
compare film speeds related to emulsion thickness of thick vs thin   thick = faster film speed thin = slower film speed  
🗑
what are the primary characteristics of film   resolution, contrast, speed, latitude  
🗑
ability of film to stop light is termed   opacity  
🗑
instrument that provides a readout of the amount of density (blackening) on a film   densitometer  
🗑
type of sensitometric equipment sometimes referred to a step wedge, increasingly thick, uniform absorbers   penetrometer  
🗑
measurement of the characteristic response of film exposure and processing?   sensitomertry  
🗑
as contrast increases what happens to the latitude?   decreases  
🗑
what component makes silver halide crystals photosensitive?   sensitivity specs  
🗑
inherent object unsharpness refers to?   constant motion (ie heart)  
🗑
as the OID increases the detail becomes?   less sharp  
🗑
as the SID increases detail becomes?   sharper  
🗑
as the OID decreases the details become?   sharper  
🗑
the most important consideration in selecting screen-film is?   the spectral absorption characteristics  
🗑
