Question
Answer
The type of x-ray tube designed to turn on and off rapidly also providing multiple short exposures   Grid controlled  
🗑
True or False:Components of a CT gantry include a high-voltage generator, multidetector array and x-ray tube   True  
🗑
What is the relationship between kV and HVL?   As kV increases, HVL increases  
🗑
True or False: a backup timer for the AEC serves to increase or decrease master density?   False  
🗑
A slit camera is used to measure what?   Focal spot size and spatial resolution  
🗑
Characteristics of the metallic element tungsten include what?   Ready dissipation of heat, high melting point and high atomic number  
🗑
A high speed electron entering the tungsten target is attracted to the positive nucleus of a tungsten atom and in the process is decelerated. This results in what?   Bremsstrahlung radiation  
🗑
What is a charge coupled device used for?   Used in digital fluoroscopy, replacing the image intensifier's television camera tube  
🗑
A three phase timer can be tested for accuracy using a synchronous top. The resulting image looks like what?   A solid arc, with the angle (in degrees) representative of the exposure time  
🗑
Star and wye configurations are related to what?   Three phase transformers  
🗑
What is the device that directs the light emitted from the image intensifier to various viewing and imaging apparatus   beam splitter  
🗑
True or False: A characteristic of an x-ray photon is travelling at the speed of sound   False  
🗑
The kV settings on radiographic equipment must be tested annually and must be accurate to within   +/- 4 kV  
🗑
A device used to ensure reproducible radiographs, regardless of tissue density variations   automatic exposure control  
🗑
The image intensifier tube's input phosphor functions to convert   x-rays to light  
🗑
Amount of electric charge flowing per second   Current  
🗑
Characteristics of an x-ray tube target that determine heat capacity include what?   Rotation of the anode, diameter of the anode and size of the focal spot  
🗑
The brightness level of the fluoroscopic image can vary with what?   mA, kV and patient thickness  
🗑
Moving the image intensifier closer to the patient during fluoroscopy does what?   decreases the SID, decreases patient dose and improves image quality  
🗑
Advantages of battery powered mobile x-ray units   ability to store a large quantity of energy and ability to store energy for extended periods of time  
🗑
