Question
Answer
What part of the x-ray beam helps contribute to forming the image pp. 434   exit beam or remant beam  
🗑
What is the principle factor affecting beam quantity pp.434   mAs  
🗑
What is the principle factor affecting beam quality pp.434   kVp  
🗑
The gradual decrease in an exposure rate as radiation passes through tissue pp.434   attenuation  
🗑
The type of transformer that increases the voltage pp. 440   step up or high voltage  
🗑
Generators convert what type of energy pp. 437   converts mechanical energy into electrical energy  
🗑
What is the autotransformer law/transformer law pp. 441   Vs/Vp=Ns/Np  
🗑
Rectifers are made from what type of material pp/ 442   silicon, selenium, germanium  
🗑
What components are part of the cathode pp. 444   one or more filaments, supporting wires for the filaments, and focusing cup  
🗑
What is the function of the line voltage compensator pp. 452   functions to adjust automatically for any fluctuations in incoming voltage supply  
🗑
What is the function of the mAs timer pp. 452   the timer monitors the product of mA and time and will terminate the exposure when the desired mAs has been reached  
🗑
What is the filament circuit responsible for pp. 455   It supplies low voltage current to the filament of the x-ray tube  
🗑
What is the "Moire" affect pp. 461   This affect is associated with digital imaging and grids. If direction of the lead strips and the grid lines per inch matches the scan frequency of the scanner/reader will cause artifact  
🗑
What is radiographic QC pp. 493   A organized and methodical evaluation of imaging comments from the x-ray tube to the automatic film processor, with the purpose of decreasing repeat exposures, thereby decreasing patient radiation exposure and increasing cost effectiveness  
🗑
Who is responsible for QC testing pp. 493   QC technologist, service engineer, and medical physicist  
🗑
What tool is used to evaluate mA stations pp. 495   aluminum step wedge or penetrometer  
🗑
How often should collimators be inspected pp.496   Semiannually  
🗑
Focal spot size can be measured with _________ pp. 497   pinhole camera  
🗑
How often should personal fluoroscopic shields checked pp. 498   Annually  
🗑
What is the definition for half value layer pp. 496   the thickness of any absorber that will reduce x-ray beam intensity to one-half its original value  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
