Question
Answer
what is a tomogram?   show
🗑
what is a tomograph?   show
🗑
show the modality/ exam  
🗑
show synchonized movement of two elements, objects in plane of fulcrum sharp, objects farther away blurred  
🗑
pivot point around the movement occurs, object being examined is placed at this point   show
🗑
show fulcrum  
🗑
method to overcome superimposition   show
🗑
show tube, object, IR  
🗑
terms used to describe section of interested in tomography   show
🗑
show area of fulcrum is sharp because it has not moved in relationship to tube & IR during position  
🗑
show tomographic amplitude  
🗑
show exposure amplitude  
🗑
show only coronal slices  
🗑
blurring of anatomic structures lying outside to focal plane   show
🗑
show only the object lying in the focal plane  
🗑
how is blur demonstrated on the tomogram?   show
🗑
how does blur effect density?   show
🗑
show direct relationship. Increase in arc, increase in blur  
🗑
show directly. Increase in distance of an object from fulcrum, increase in blur  
🗑
how is distance from IR related to blur?   show
🗑
show blur increases  
🗑
show phantoms  
🗑
show during complex tomographic motion  
🗑
show phantoms  
🗑
show greater than or equal to  
🗑
the exposure arc is greater or less than the tomographic arc?   show
🗑
show reduced section thickness and increased exposure amplitude  
🗑
pivot point   show
🗑
show move table up or down OR move fulcrum up or down, patient remains stationary.  
🗑
region within the image exhibits satisfactory recorded detail and is controlled by the fulcrum   show
🗑
show width of the focal plane  
🗑
show inverse relationship- as angle increases, section thickness decreases.  
🗑
show tomography angle  
🗑
controlled at the table, increments of 1/2 cm or 1 cm.   show
🗑
cannot exceed the section thickness   show
🗑
most common and most widely used type of motion   show
🗑
show pluridirectional  
🗑
show curvilinear, circular, elliptical, figure eight, trispiral, hypocycloidal  
🗑
slice thickness relationship to movements   show
🗑
must match length of time required for x-ray tube to complete the tomo amplitude   show
🗑
what kind of mA used for tomogram?   show
🗑
show Zonography  
🗑
show wide angle tomography  
🗑
show panoramic tomography  
🗑
technique used to produce rad image with depth perception, making it 3D   show
🗑
common uses for stereoradiography   show
🗑


   

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.
