Question
Answer
Two Linear grids placed on top of one another so that the lead strips form a criss-cross pattern   show
🗑
Two linear grids placed on top of one another so that the lead strips form a criss-cross pattern   show
🗑
A grid created with the central grid strips parallel with the strips and becoming more inclined as they move away from the central axis; the lines would intersect along a point in space called the line of convergence   show
🗑
A device used to improve contrast of the radiographic image   show
🗑
show Grid Cutoff  
🗑
The number of grid lines per inch or centimeter   show
🗑
show Grid Ratio  
🗑
show Linear Grid  
🗑
show Parellel Grid  
🗑
show Grids absorb scattered radiation before it can reach the image receptor  
🗑
As a general rule, when should a grid be used?   show
🗑
How is a grid constructed?   show
🗑
Define Grid Ratio:   show
🗑
What type of grid pattern has lead strips running in only one direction?   show
🗑
show The central grid strips are parallel and as the strips move away from the central axis they become more and more inclinded  
🗑
As the ability of a grid to clean up scatter increases, what is the effect on patient dose and image receptor exposure?   show
🗑
show The contrast improvement factor. K=radiographic contrast with the grid, over radiographi. The higher the K factor, the greater the contrast.  
🗑
How does an off-level grid error occur?   show
🗑
show The technique involves placing the patient at a greater object IR eistance, that creating an air grap between the patient and IR  
🗑


   

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.

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.
