Question
Answer
What two parts can the electromagnetic spectrum be divided into?   It can be divided into ionizing and nonionizing (Pg. 8).  
🗑
What is another name for Beta particles?   Beta rays (pg.12)  
🗑
What kind of radiation damage causes a molecular change which leads to abnormal cell function?   Cellular damage (pg.13)  
🗑
What is the anode made of?   Tungsten or metal alloy (pg. 31)  
🗑
What creates the permanent inherent filtration of an xray unit?   Glass envelope and aluminum in collimator (pg. 32)  
🗑
What is it called when the primary beam pass through the patient?   Beam attenuation (pg.33)  
🗑
What is it called when xray protons pass through the patient without interaction?   Direct transmission (pg. 33)  
🗑
What is it called when compton/coherent scatter hits the IR?   Indirect transmission (pg. 33)  
🗑
How can radiographers decrease the amount of scatter that hits the IR?   Use air gaps or grids (pg.33)  
🗑
What happens to the image when scatter hits the IR?   It decreases the quality (pg. 33)  
🗑
What are imaging formation photons?   Photons that pass through the patient and hit the IR (pg.33)  
🗑

🗑
The ejected electron from Compton scatter is capable of ionizing other atoms. T/F?   True (pg. 39)  
🗑

🗑
Which interaction creates a negatron and a positron?   paired production (pg 47)  
🗑
What interaction is used in positron emission tomography?   Annihilation radiation (pg. 47)

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.
