🗑
show Poor collimation  
🗑
A proper ___________ __________ can reduce the number of repeated images and produce excellent images?   show
🗑

🗑
show TOo dark  
🗑
The back-up timer should always be set at ______% of the anticipated manual exposure time?   show

Will AEC always provide for a precisely repeatable exposure?   show
🗑
A technologist inadvertently selected all 3 cells while using an 8X10 film in the table bucky. Since the portion of the detector will be located outside of the collimated area, one can expect the film to have ______ density?   show
🗑
If a pt with a large consolidated pneumonia of the right and middle lobes. In the order to obain an image that evaluated the entire thorax, the _____ detector should be activated?   show
🗑
If the patient has a left pneumectomy, the _______ detectors should be activated   show
🗑
The cathode is on the _____ side?   show
🗑
show cathode (x-ray ciruit)  
🗑
show tungsten  
🗑
show mA  
🗑
show 1.0-3.0 mm  
🗑
show Better detail  
🗑
show Have to use lower mA, limit size of primary beam field at a short SID  
🗑
show produces thermionic cloud by providing resistence to the flow of electrons  
🗑

🗑
show Narrow the thermionic cloud, repels staying electrons. As the electrons build up in the filament, the neg charges begin to oppose additional electrons  
🗑
What is the function of the anode?   show
🗑
What is the purpose of the rotating anode?   show
🗑
show tungsten  
🗑
show high melting point, high atomic #, heat conducting ability  
🗑
show will vaporize enough target focal track material to pit the target  
🗑
show short SID  
🗑
Describe the target area?   show
🗑
How does the target area related to SID?   show
🗑
The total # of x-ray photons produced at the target is contingent upon what factor?   show
🗑
What is the common diagnostic radiographic target angle?   show
🗑
show 2-6  
🗑
Due to the anode heel effect, how much total variance in the number of photons can occur?   show
🗑
show cause 20% more photons at the cathode end  
🗑
What positioning change should be used to overcome the anode heel effect?   show
🗑
show induction-motor electromagnetics comprise the stator that turns the anode  
🗑
Where is the stator located?   show
🗑
show hollow copper cylinder is attached to the anode disk by a molybdenum shaft. Silver plated ball barings around the shaft that attach to the glass envelope.  
🗑
show bad ball bearings  
🗑
show houses entire cathode and anode assembly. Keeps the vacuum  
🗑
show the primary x-ray beam exits the glass envelope  
🗑
What is the protective housing's function?   show
🗑
show 100 at 1  
🗑
Within the tube, space charge refers to?   show
🗑
show composed of photons that were not produced at the focal spot  
🗑

🗑
show 80-100 Kvp  
🗑
show Brems  
🗑
What is the average primary beam photon energy?   show
🗑
What are the factors that affect both amplitude and position of the em\mision spectrum?   show
🗑
show mA, time or mAs  
🗑
