🗑
24. When using the anode heel affect, which side does the thicker part of the pt go under? (pg 332)   show
🗑
show bit

🗑
show the shades of grey  
🗑
show visibility

🗑
show under the table, above the IR and as photons emerge from the pt they enter the chamber and ionize the air within

🗑
show fixed: specifies a particular Kv for adequate penetrating and requires a change in mAs based upon patient size and condition. variable: mAs is fixed and Kv is increases as part thickness increases.  
🗑


   

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.
