Question
Answer
show 1mGya/hr (100 mR/hr)  
🗑
show 2 and 1  
🗑
When the size of the x-ray field is restricted, dose is significantly reduced because...   show
🗑
show light localizing variable-aperture rectangular collimator.  
🗑
light localizing variable-aperture rectangular collimator consists of what 3 things?   show
🗑
To minimize skin exposure, the patients surface should be at least _____ below the collimator.   show
🗑
Simplest of all beam limitation devices?   show
🗑
2 benefits of extending the SID?   show
🗑
show glass envelope, insulating oil, glass window in tube housing. 0.5 mm.  
🗑
show 1.0 mm  
🗑
Total filtration of _____mm aluminum equivalent for fixed units operating above ______kVp, ______mm aluminum equiv for operating from ____ to ___ kVp, and ____ mm aluminum equiv below ____ kVp.   show
🗑
Mammo uses ___ to ___ keV(approx)   show
🗑
show molybdenum  
🗑
When the tube target for mammo is made of ______, the rhodium filters are used.   show
🗑
_____ filters allow a lower energy window, therefore they are better for small and average breast thickness.   show
🗑
rhodium filters, used with either anode, are better for ____ or ____ breasts because they will produce a beam with higher energy.   show
🗑
show Half Value Layer (HVL)  
🗑
show At least once a year and after each tube is replaced or repaired.  
🗑
Consistency in output in intensity for identical generator settings form one exposure to subsequent exposures is termed _____. (unit must be able to duplicate exposures for any given combo of kVp and mAs)   show
🗑
show 5  
🗑
show exposure linearity  
🗑
show .1 (10%)  
🗑
What is the standard film screen speed for general radiography?   show
🗑
show is reduced by approx half.  
🗑
show increase. Need to use more mAs.  
🗑
show grid ratio  
🗑
show Scintillators (in indirect).... (photoconductor of A-se in direct changes x-rays to electric right away)  
🗑
show that CR technique factors are generally somewhat greater than those used in conventional radiography, in which 400 speed is typically used.  
🗑
show Increased image brightness, saving time for the radiologist, patient dose reduction (less mAs is required now)  
🗑
Why use magnification mode?   show
🗑
2 benefits of pulsed fluoro?   show
🗑
show 38 cm (15 inches), 30 cm (12 inches)  
🗑
show cumulative timer. Sounds at 5 minutes.  
🗑
Current standards limit the ESE rates of general intensified fluoro to a max of ________ mGya per minute (_____ R/min)   show
🗑
During C-arm procedures, the II distance should be as _____ as possible to reduce pt dose.   show
🗑
To reduce pt dose, the tube should always be above or below the table?   show
🗑
show cinefluorography  
🗑
show intermitten activation to locate the catheter, limit the time of the cine, use the last image hold feature  
🗑
show 1-2 Gyt  
🗑
show 10 days  
🗑
High level control fluoro is used when? What is the SSD and maximum entrance exposure rate?   show
🗑
In II systems, pt exposure increases when a smaller viewing mode (15 cm compared to 23 cm) or a ____ speed cine film is used.   show
🗑
Switching from 23cm to a 15 cm field of view has approximately what effect on pt dose?   show
🗑
show double it.  
🗑


   

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.
