🗑
A substance that is _________________ permits the passage of most of the x-rays.   radiolucent  
🗑
________________ substances are those that absorb most of the x-rays they are exposed to allowing only a small fraction of the x-rays to reach the x-ray plate.   radiopaque  
🗑
An _________________ is the x-ray image of blood vessels and heart chambers obtained after contrast is injected through a catheter into the appropriate blood vessel of heart chamber.   angiography  
🗑
When contrast or air or both are injected into a joint, and x-ray images of the joint are obtained it is referred to as an _________________________.   arthrography  
🗑
The x-ray image of contrast-injected blood vessels produced by taking two x-ray pictures and using a computer to subtract obscuring shadows from the second image is called __________________________.   digital subtraction angiography  
🗑

🗑
The use of high-frequency inaudible sound waves that bounce off the body tissues is called _____________________.   ultrasound  
🗑
When x-rays travel from a posteriorly placed source to an anteriorly placed detector it is called a ________________________.   posteroanterior view  
🗑
When x-rays travel in a slanting direction at an angle from the perpendicular plane the technologist is taking an _________________.   oblique view
