Question
Answer
a mathematical method for determining the value of an unknown quantity that has a specific relationship to one or more quantity   Algebra  
🗑
a fraction with a denominator of 10, 100 or any number that consists of 1followed by one or more zeros   Decimal  
🗑
the lower number of a fraction   Denominator  
🗑
the dot at the left of a decimal fraction; indicates the number of parts   Decimal point  
🗑
answer to subtraction problem   Difference  
🗑
the number divided into in a division   Dividend  
🗑
the number that is divided into the dividend   Divisor  
🗑
a declaration that two mathematical statements (groups of numbers, together with their signs or mathematical functions) are equal to each other   Equation  
🗑
a number consisting of a whole number and a fraction   Mixed number / Improper fraction  
🗑
The upper number of a fraction   Numerator  
🗑
A form of a fraction with a denominator of 100   Percentage  
🗑
the answer to a multiplication table   Product  
🗑
the answer to a division problem   Quotient  
🗑
the quotient that results from dividing one number into another   Ratio  
🗑
the description of a number that has been multiplied by it-self   Squared  
🗑
the total or the answer to an addition problem   Sum  
🗑
a number that represents a portion of a whole number   Fraction  
🗑
the distance in inches between the radiation source in the x-ray tube and the imaging plane   SID (Source Image Distance)  
🗑
tool used to measure the body part   Caliper  
🗑
The number of times a number is multiplied by itself, as indicated as exponent   Power  
🗑
the number that is multiplied times it to form a mathematical term with exponent   Base number  
🗑
the description of a number that has been multiplied by itself two times   Cubed  
🗑
a superscript number that indicates how many times a number is multiplied by itself   Exponent  
🗑
the number that is left over when one number is divided unequally into another   Remainder  
🗑
The portion of a number which, when multiplied by itself equals the original number   Squared root  
🗑
mA X Seconds = mAs   mAs formula  
🗑
radiation intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance I1 / I2 = SID2 squared / SID1 squared   Inverse Square Law  
🗑
to maintain a constant radiographic intensity (density), the mAs must be directly proportional to the square of the distance mAs1 / mAs2 = SID1 squared / SID2 squared   mAs maintenance /mAs distance formula / the square formula  
🗑
Below 85 kVp, an adjustment of 2 kVp/cm will compensate for small changes. Above 85 kVp, a change of 3 kVp/cm is necessary   Alteration for patient/part size kV  
🗑
For a 2 cm increase in patient size, increase the mAs by 30% (multiply by 1.3) per 2 cm. For a 2 cm decrease in patient/part size, decrease the mAs by 20% (multiply by 0.8) per 2 cm   30 % rule (Alteration for patient/part size mAs)  
🗑
to increase contrast (more difference between shades) decrease the kVp by 15% and multiply the mAs by 2. To decrease contrast, increase latitude and lower patient dose, increase kVp by 15% and divide the mAs by 2   15% rule  
🗑
mAs is inversly proportional to the speed of the screen mAs1 / mAs2 = RS2 / RS1   Relative speed formula  
🗑
mAs is directly proportional to the grid mAs1 / mAs2 = GCF1 / GCF2   Grid conversion formula  
🗑
