Question
Answer
contrast decreased from unwanted exposure   scatter/ fog  
🗑
factors that contribute to increased scatter   KVP, field size, patient thickness  
🗑
density you can see   optical density (OD)  
🗑
optical density caused by ________ &__________   transmission and compton scatter  
🗑
Collimation ________ area of exposure and _________ contrast   decrease; increase  
🗑
_________improves spatial resolution, contrast resolution,and reduces patient dose.   compression  
🗑
4 types of beam restrictors   aperture diaphragm, cones and cylindars, variable-aperture diaphragm, and positive beam limiting device (PBL)  
🗑
a flat piece of lead with hole with prescribed SID Simplest form   aperture diaphragm  
🗑
used too produce circular projected field on selected areas to produce better scale of contrast and less exposure   cones and cylindars  
🗑
most common collimator reduces patient dose and improves contrast has longitudinal and lateral blades that move independantly   variable aperture collimator  
🗑
variable aperature collimator blades are how thick?   3mm thick  
🗑
what is light localization accomplished with?   lamp and mirror  
🗑
PBL   positive Beam Limiting device (automatic collimators)  
🗑
PBL mandated by FDA in what year? Is this still a regulation?   1974 NO  
🗑
off focus radiation is ___________ focal spot   out side  
🗑
Who invented Grids? In what year? Who revised the design?   Gustave Buckey ; 1913 ; Potter  
🗑
what is a grid purpose?   to reduce scatter to improve contrast  
🗑
Grid ratio equation   height of lead strip/ distance between them H/D (answer:1)  
🗑
to use a grid you have to have ___ KVP and a thickness of ____ cm   70 KVP and 10cm  
🗑
the ________ the grid ratio the________ scatter will be absorbed, the _______ patient dose   higher; more; higher  
🗑
the # of grid strips per cm or inch   grid frequency  
🗑
if contrast improves ____to_____ a grid is worth using if below 1.5 its not worth using   1.5-2.5  
🗑
Grid conversion factors- no grid, 5:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1 or 12:1, 16:1   1, 2,3,4,5,6  
🗑
Grid ratio formula   mAs1=GCF1 mAs2 GCF2 mAs2  
🗑
Types of grids   parallel, crossed, focused, moving, stationary  
🗑
simplest type of grid lead strips parallel, grid cut off most common   parallel grid  
🗑
result of grid absorbing the primary x-rays   grid cut off  
🗑
2 parallel grids stack on top of one another, absorb more scatter but have to increase mas cant use angles   crossed grid  
🗑
lead strip coincide with divergence of beam, no grid cut off marked to indicate top   focused grid  
🗑
grid is oscillating or reciprocating during procedure to blur grid lines   moving grid  
🗑
moving grids create _______OID   3 inches  
🗑
occurs whenthe geid tilts during horizontal beam radiography or sinks into bed, results in grid cut off   off level grid  
🗑
grid cut off on one side   off center grid  
🗑
grid with cut off at edges   off focused grid  
🗑
grid with severe cut off on lateral sides (edges)   upside down grid  
🗑
If you need a grid and dont have one what technique can you use?   air gap technique  
🗑
how much OID can be use in place of a grid?   10 - 15 cm of OID  
🗑
mAs goes up __% for every cm of OID   10%  
🗑
invisible image   latent  
🗑
visible image   manafest  
🗑
correctly matching the color sensitivity of the film to the color emission of the intenifying screen   spectral matching  
🗑
layer that holds and forms the latent image composed of silver halide crystals   emulsion layer  
🗑
"glue" layer that binds emulsion to film   adhesive layer  
🗑
gelatin layer that holds crystals in place   supercoat emulsion  
🗑
types of film   emulsion, double emulsion, single emulsion, direct exposure  
🗑
