Question
Answer
What is the purpose of the Grid?   show
🗑
What is Transmission responsable for?   show
🗑
What is Absorption responsable for?   show
🗑
What does scatter do to an X-ray?   show
🗑
show kV increases, Field size increases, thickness of part increases, atomic number decreases  
🗑
What are the indications for Grid use?   show
🗑
show Dr. Gustav Bucky in 1913  
🗑
show Radiopaque lead strips that are separated by radiolucent interspace material, usually Aluminum  
🗑
show Dr. Hollis Potter. He made the grid lines run in the same direction and made them move during exposure.  
🗑
How do you find the Grid Ratio?   show
🗑
With a high grid ratio, what scale of contrast is there?   show
🗑
T\F: A higher grid ratio is better at removing scatter radiation.   show
🗑
What is the typical grid ratio?   show
🗑
show the number of lead strips in the grid per inch or cm  
🗑
show False : Higher frequency grids have thinner leas strips.  
🗑
show High ratio, low frequency grids  
🗑
T\F: As the lead content increases, the removal of scatter decreases, and the contrast decreases   show
🗑
What are some types of grid patterns?   show
🗑
show It has both horizontal and vertical lead strips  
🗑
What does a linear pattern look like?   show
🗑
show Looks like a wavy pattern and is used mostly in Europe  
🗑
What does a Consentric pattern look like?   show
🗑
What type of grid has a higher margin of error?   show
🗑
show focused and parallel  
🗑
show the lead strips are angled which matches the beam divergence  
🗑
show When the lead strips are angled to match the beam divergence  
🗑
What does improper centering on a linear grid result in?   show
🗑
What does a parallel linear grid look like?   show
🗑
What is a downfall of using a parallel linear grid?   show
🗑
What is reciprocating grid movement?   show
🗑
What is oscillating grid movement?   show
🗑
show GCF = mAs with grid \ mAs without grid  
🗑
show decreases  
🗑
What is the Potter-Bucky diaphragm, and what does it do?   show
🗑
show mAs of 1 over mAs of 2 = GCF of 1 over GCF of 2  
🗑
show the International Commission of Radiologic Units and Measurements evaluate grid performance by two criteria; selectivity and contrast imporvement ability.  
🗑
show the ability of the grid to allow the primary radiation to reach the IR and prevent scatter  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show the contrast improvement ability which is a comparison of contrast of an image with a grid to that of an image without a grid  
🗑
show 1.5 an 3.5  
🗑
show Contrast  
🗑
show proper aligmnent between tube and grid  
🗑
show cut off  
🗑
What are some types of grid errors?   show
🗑
What is Moire effect?   show
🗑
What is the Air-Gap technique?   show
🗑
What happens when the grid is upside down?   show
🗑
show the gird has a specified distance as the focal range. if a distance of 44 SID is required and a 72" SID is used, the result will be grid cut off on the peripheral edges of the image  
🗑
What does it mean when the grid is off center?   show
🗑
show when the tube is angled, an off level grid error occurs with a focused grid and it is the only positioning error possible with a parallel grid.  
🗑


   

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.
