Question
Answer
Timers are used for big or small body parts ?   show
🗑
AEC is used for big or small body parts?   show
🗑
Is a timer or AEC more accurate?   show
🗑
show 1 ms  
🗑
show Angiography  
🗑
show Measures quantity of radiation reaching the IR and terminated the exposure when enough radiation has reached the IR to produce optimal images with decreases patient dose  
🗑
Tube- patient- table- grid- AEC/Timer - IR . What is this?   show
🗑
show Solid state, and ionization chambers  
🗑
Ionization chambers are ?   show
🗑
Which AEC works on p-n junction principle?   show
🗑
show Bigger  
🗑
Increasing collimation will make the light field bigger or smaller?   show
🗑
What is there detector in the ionization chamber?   show
🗑
When using AEC what will change with every patient?   show
🗑
Time it takes for AEC circuit to detect and react to the radiation received (usually 10 ms) is called?   show
🗑
What is backup timer?   show
🗑
If the wrong Bucky is selected, or if the wrong chamber is selected what are these examples of?   show
🗑
What do the AEC density controls adjust?   show
🗑
Density control in AEC increases or decreases OD in IR by how much?   show
🗑
show AEC density controls  
🗑
What is the density setting for very young/very old/weak person?   show
🗑
What is the density setting for thin, easy to penetrate person?   show
🗑
What is the density control setting for an average/normal build person?   show
🗑
What is the density setting for a very maucalur/large build person?   show
🗑
When should we use KVp?   show
🗑
show KVp  
🗑
What should we set the mAs to when using AEC?   show
🗑
show Irradiation time is shorter that the minimum response time (IR will get enough exposure before the AEC can detect it and react to it therefore will not terminate when it is supposed to) = image being too dark  
🗑
Time needed for body part = 7ms but machine stays on for 10 ms. This is an example of when we set the —— too ——- (low)?   show
🗑
What should the backup timer for the AEC be set for?   show
🗑
show Prematurely end exposure before optimal density received = image too bright = BUT error  
🗑
show Exposure will go on for too long Image = to dark Increased patient dose  
🗑
Unexpected tissue density is present and expected tissue density is absent are causes for problems with?   show
🗑
show Fluid in lungs, emphysema, osteoporosis  
🗑
Anatomy if interest must be placed directly over selected chamber. If there is not enough anatomy over chamber what will result?   show
🗑
show Voltage from both chambers is averaged to end the exposure Chamber that receives the most irradiation will have more influence  
🗑
show Checking timer accuracy  
🗑
The formula for actual exposure time ?   show
🗑
show Values cannot deviate from selected value by more than 10% + 1ms  
🗑
show Overloading the tube  
🗑
show Checking for consistency of exposure with AEC  
🗑
show Radiation will reach outer chambers quick because there is not enough anatomy covering them so exposure terminates quickly. Image brightness will be OK, but may be too light with quantum noise Exposure # will indicate insufficient exposure  
🗑
show The active chamber is beneath thicker tissue that the one being imaged  
🗑
Performing an AP L-spine. Collimation is open to size of a 35x43 instead of collimating to the size of the spine. AP t-spine- is similar to l-spine Brighter and low contrast. What is this causing?   show
🗑
When should electronic timers been used instead of AEC?   show
🗑
show  
🗑
For any given radiographic exam, the number of X-rays that reach the IR is directly related to both the X-ray tube current and the time that the X-ray tube is energized. T or F?   show
🗑
show Guard timer  
🗑
Which is the most accurate of the X-ray exposure timers ?   show
🗑
show Electronic timers  
🗑
show True  
🗑
What kind of timer monitors the product of mA and exposure time and terminates exposure when the desired mAs value is attained?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
Does an AEC automatically terminate the exposure when the IR has recorded the required radiation intensity?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
The AEC requires particular care, especially in exams that use low KVp such as mammography, because of the varying tissue thickness and composition the AEC may not respond properly at low KVp. T or F?   show
🗑
Solid state radiation detectors are now used for exposure-timer checks? T or F ?   show
🗑
show Annually  
🗑
AEC must respond within 1/60 of a second at 5 mAs for what?   show
🗑
show 50kV, 600 mAs  
🗑
show Control panel selection error, positioning error, to little collimation  
🗑
What is the advantage of using AEC?   show
🗑
What is the purpose of using AEC?   show
🗑
What is the purpose of AEC density controls?   show
🗑
AP of the right knee need what chamber ?   show
🗑
show 2 outside chambers  
🗑
AP of the left hip needs what chamber?   show
🗑
AP of the T spine needs what chamber?   show
🗑
Lateral is the L spine needs what chamber?   show
🗑
show 1 outside, a middle  
🗑
