Question
Answer
show diagnostic tube protective housing  
🗑
show useful or primary beam  
🗑
maximum leakage radiation regulation   show
🗑
show carbon fiber  
🗑
show within 2% of the indicated SID  
🗑
show collimator  
🗑
all the radiation that arises from the interaction of an x-ray beam with the atoms of a patient or any other object in the path of the beam   show
🗑
x-rays emitted from parts of the tube other than the focal spot   show
🗑
show because lead shutters cannot be placed immediately below focal spot  
🗑
show 15cm  
🗑
show luminance  
🗑
show candela per square meter (nit)  
🗑
simplest of all beam limitation devices   show
🗑
show dental radiography  
🗑
what governs the beam restriction in a cone?   show
🗑
show reduce patient absorbed dose & increase average beam energy  
🗑
show inherent filtration  
🗑
show 0.5mm  
🗑
show 1.0mm Al eq  
🗑
show added filtration  
🗑
show 2.5mm Al eq  
🗑
what is total filtration required for tubes operating at 50-70 kVp   show
🗑
what is the total filtration required for tubes operating below 50 kVp   show
🗑
show Beryllium  
🗑
thickness of a designated absorber required to decrease the intensity of the primary beam by 50% its initial value   show
🗑
show annually, or when tube replaced or repairs made on tube housing or collimation system  
🗑
show exposure reproducibility  
🗑
what is the acceptable variance for exposure reproducibility?   show
🗑
consistency in output radiation intensity at selected kVp settings when settings are changed from one mA to another   show
🗑
what is the most linearity can vary   show
🗑
show 95%  
🗑
show gadolinium, lanthanum, yttrium  
🗑
show 57-71  
🗑
advantages of rare earth screens   show
🗑
show as kVp increases, effective screen speed increases, and patient dose decreases  
🗑
show kVp & screen-film combination  
🗑
show carbon fiber  
🗑
show it absorbs half as much radiation as other materials used, lowers patient dose, x-ray tube life extended  
🗑
show the one furthest from the tube (the back one)  
🗑
what is the advantage to asymmetric screens?   show
🗑
show No less than 12 inches from skin  
🗑
why is there a limit to how close the mobile unit can be to skin   show
🗑
image produced by a computer representation of an anatomic information   show
🗑
show positioning errors  
🗑
changes light to electrical signal   show
🗑
show 200  
🗑
why may grids be used more frequently in CR?   show
🗑
show fluoroscopy procedures  
🗑
show increased image brightness, saving time for radiologist, patient dose reduction  
🗑
how much does image intensifier increase overall brightness?   show
🗑
daytime (cone) vision   show
🗑
show scotopic  
🗑
show 1.5-2 mA  
🗑
what is input phosphor made of?   show
🗑
show zinc-cadmium sulfide  
🗑
show increases with magnification, because auto adjusts for decreased brightness  
🗑
show intermittent or pulse  
🗑
show 75-110 kVp  
🗑
what are SSD requirements for fluoro tubes, both stationary and mobile?   show

🗑
how does filtration effect patient dose in fluoro?   show
🗑
what is HVL of fluoro unit?   show
🗑
what should be documented for every fluoro procedure?   show
🗑

🗑
what kind of fluoro procedures produce the highest dose rate?   show
🗑
show higher frame rate, higher dose  
🗑
typical cine tabletop exposure   show

🗑
limitation on fluoro exposure when HLC is present   show
🗑
show 20-120 R/min  
🗑
show 1-2 Gy  
🗑
