Question
Answer
Source of x-rays   X-ray tube  
🗑
X-ray tube is surrounded by a lead-lined   Tube housing  
🗑
X-rays that are created exit the tube housing through an opening called the   Tube port  
🗑
   
🗑
Radiation that leaves the tube is called   Primary radiation  
🗑
The squared area of the X-ray beam that strikes a patient and x-ray table is   Radiation field  
🗑
An imaginary line in the center of the X-ray beam and perpendicular to the long axis of the X-ray   Central Ray  
🗑
Journey x-ray exposure x-rays from the tube are directed through the patient   Image receptor  
🗑
Anatomic structures that have greater tissue density such as bone   Will absorb more radiation than less dense tissue such as muscle  
🗑
Radiation that exits on the opposite side of the patient is called   Remnant radiation or exit radiation  
🗑
The image receptor or IR that contains the unseen image is called a   Latent image  
🗑
Absorption of the X-ray beam is called   Attenuation  
🗑
What is the primary source of scattered radiation   The patient  
🗑
X-ray photons leaving the X-ray tube before they interact with matter   Primary radiation  
🗑
X-ray photons that interact with matter and scatters in   Scattered radiation  
🗑
X-ray photons that reach the   Remnant radiation makes the image  
🗑
X-rays and visible light properties   Travel in straight lines affect photographic emulsions cause harmful biological effects  
🗑
X-rays   1 Cannot be detected by human senses 2 can penetrate matter 3 can cause certain materials to to fluoresce  
🗑
Boxlight device attached under tube housing allows operator to vary size of radiation field   Collimator  
🗑
Primary radiation   X-ray photons leaving the X-ray tube before they interact with matter  
🗑
Scatter radiation   X-ray photons that interact with matter and scatter in many directions  
🗑
Remnant radiation   X-ray photons that reach the image receptor remnant makes the image  
🗑
X-rays consist of   Electromagnetic energy  
🗑
X-rays have a shorter   Wavelength and are more penetrating  
🗑
Electromagnetic energy properties   Light x-rays radio waves microwaves  
🗑
Which kvp will will result in the most penetration 60 kvp or 80 kvp   80 kvp  
🗑
Most frequent adverse incident in x-ray room   Patient falling  
🗑
AEC   Auto exposure control or phototiming  
🗑
Primary radiation   X-ray photon leaving tube before interaction with matter  
🗑
Scattered radiation   X-ray photons interacting with matter scatters in many directions  
🗑
Remnant radiation   X-ray photons reach image receptor  
🗑
Image receptor defined   Device changes x-ray beam into visible image  
🗑
Sponges are   Radiolucent Does not absorb x-rays  
🗑
Pattern radiation creates image on film   Remnant  
🗑


   

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.
