🗑
what is the function of the JRCERT   show
🗑
show it is the national certification and registration agency for registered technologist  
🗑
show accredits health care organizations  
🗑
show national professional association for radiologic technologist. -professional curriculum -practice standards(scope of practice) -position statements -professional development and advancement  
🗑
show they license technologist and our equipment  
🗑
show anything that occupies space and has shape or form. 3 sates of matter: -gas -liquid -solid  
🗑
energy   show
🗑
radiograph   show
🗑
show path of the central ray(CR)  
🗑
show what the image receptor(IR) sees  
🗑
position   show
🗑
show gain or loss of an electron  
🗑
atomic #(Z#)   show
🗑
show # of protons + # of neutrons  
🗑
show same atomic #, but different atomic mass  
🗑
photon   show
🗑
kinetic energy   show
🗑
show stored energy  
🗑
show -electromagnetic energy(photon) -polyenergetic and heterogenous(many wavelengths) -travel at speed of light in a vacum(3 x 10 to the 8th power m/s) -emission of light -ionize matter, produce secondary and scatter radiation  
🗑
show -flat -shaped -shadow  
🗑
show film is exposed to get dose reading -<10 mRem= M  
🗑
osl   show
🗑
tld   show
🗑
show -time- as short as possible -distance- as long as possible -shielding- lead(88 k-shell binding)  
🗑
show -mA -kVp -time -SID  
🗑
mA   show
🗑
show -killovolts peak(kVp -beam quality -controls: contrast,higher kVp for more penetration, but you must lower mA so there is less quantity  
🗑
show exposure time  
🗑
SID   show
🗑
show 1. source of electrons(thermionic emission from filament) 2. focusing cup focuses electron stream 3. circuit is closed creating potential difference. excess electrons flow to target 4. something must stop or break the beams path. thermal and xrays em
