🗑
half value layer   show
🗑
intensifying screen   show
🗑
show formula desribing relationship betwwen intensity and distance  
🗑
show measure of electrical pressure, controls quality/quantity of photons in tube  
🗑
show invisible image after exposure but before processing  
🗑
Milliampere Second (mAs)   show
🗑
show beam ability to pass through object, controlled by kVp  
🗑
penumbra   show
🗑
show particle of radiant energy  
🗑
Positive Beam Limitation (PBL)   show
🗑
show beam before hitting object  
🗑
show permitting xray passage with little attenuation  
🗑
show not easily penetrable by xrays  
🗑
recorded detail   show
🗑
show speed of film and intensifying screen, slow film, sharper image and more radiation  
🗑
remnant radiation   show
🗑
show measurement of recorded detail on radiograph, aka sharpness of detail, definition  
🗑
show photon interacts with matter, goes in different direction, radiation produced  
🗑
show unmoving  
🗑
show true border of object as imaged  
🗑
show density and contrast  
🗑
show recorded detail and distortion  
🗑
show mA x time = mAs  
🗑
show patient factors, kVp, distance, beam modification, grids, film/screen combinations, processing  
🗑
show increase kVp 15% will double exposuredecrease kVp 15% will halve exposure  
🗑
show increase kVp 15% and halve mAsdecrease kVp 15% and double mAs  
🗑
inverse square law definition   show
🗑
inverse square law formula   show
🗑
inverse square law tip   show
🗑
show mAs1/mAs2 = D1squared/D2squared  
🗑
primary beam modification   show
🗑
show range of gray tones; few is high contrast, short scale and vica versa  
🗑
Influencing factors of contrast   show
🗑
factors affecting recorded detail   show
🗑
show greater SID better recorded detail  
🗑
OID   show
🗑
size distortion   show
🗑
shape distortion   show
🗑
show alignment of beam, part and IR  
🗑
show flouroscopy unit changes to radiographic mode  
🗑
show positive electode, target, method to accelerate  
🗑
cathode   show
🗑
rotor exposure switch   show
🗑
ALARA   show
🗑
show  
🗑
show low energy photon absorbed and released with only a change in direction  
🗑
show high energy photon strikes end removes electron from shell, remaining energy released as scatter photon, most harmful to RT  
🗑
show measures the rate a radionuclide decays, 1Ci=3.7 x 10(to the tenth)Bq  
🗑
show  
🗑
SI Units   show
🗑
Kilelectron Volt (keV)   show
🗑
show interaction between matter and photon having 1.02 million electron volts, producing positron and negatron  
🗑
show photon strikes inner shell electron ejecting it and absorbing photons energy, most harmful to patient  
🗑
show tube housing  
🗑
radiation   show
🗑
Radiation Absorbed Dose(rad), Gray(Gy)   show
🗑
show  
🗑
show measures ionization in air  
🗑
show measures biologic response of exposed individuals to same quantity of differing radiations 1Sv=100rem; Sv is SI unit;1rad=1rem  
🗑
Somatic cell   show
🗑
show electromagnetic radiation traveling at the speed of light with the ability to penetrate matter  
🗑
ionizind radiation   show
🗑
show uranium, radon; we get approx. 295 mrem/yr  
🗑
show nuclear power, xrays, ect. we get approx. 65mrem/yr  
🗑
properties of xrays   show
🗑
absorbtion   show
🗑
show xrays pass through matter with no reaction  
🗑
show occurs in nuclear industry; energy interacts directly with nucleus, causes excitement, emits nuclear fragment  
🗑
