AEC/AED

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
AEC will produce consistant density regardless of   Patient Size or Pathological Condition  
🗑
Benefits of AEC   decrease pt dose, increase departmental efficiency, reduced film cost, reduced processing chemical cost, & prolonged tube life  
🗑
Two types of AEC units   ionization chamber & phototimer type.  
🗑
The ionization chambers in an AED are located ___ the cassette.   In front of  
🗑
All of the following are advantages of AEC, except   Eliminates need for proper positioning  
🗑
Minimum response time refers to the time that must be set by the radiographer when making a radiographic exposure   false  
🗑
The purpose of the backup timer in an AED is to   Protect the pt and Protect the x-ray tube  
🗑
With AEC, each incremental density setting corresponds to a ___ change in density   25%  
🗑
With which of the AEC units listed below does backscatter have the greatest impact on image quality?   Phototimer type  
🗑
The two most important factors affecting film density when using AEC are   positioning and detector selection  
🗑
All of the following can cause overexposure when using AEC except   SID  
🗑
It is acceptable tp use the center detector when performing abdominal radigraphy   False  
🗑
The outer detectors can be used with large field sizes   True  
🗑
OID affects density when uing AEC   False  
🗑
Increasing kV and mA can shorten the minimum response time   False  
🗑
Beam intensity affects exposure time when using AEC   True  
🗑
Activation of the backup timer is most often caused by   Radiographic Error  
🗑
Backup timers should never allow the pt to be exposed to more than ___ mAs   600  
🗑
If the xray tube is not properly aligned to the Bucky grid, the exposure time will be   Excessive long  
🗑
The exposure time can be intentionally increased when using AEC by   Decreasing mA  
🗑
When using AEC, if a fast-speed sreen cassette were used instead of a medium-speed screen cassette, the exposure time would be   unaffected  
🗑
All of the following can affect AEC exposure time, except   Film speed  
🗑
Insufficient collimation __ exposure time when using AEC   Reduces  
🗑
The ionization chambers are situated between grid of the bucky device and the cassette.   (Usually 3 chambers)  
🗑
Two most important factors that affect image quality to consider are pt positioning and detector selection.    
🗑


   

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.
