Question
Answer
show intensifying screens  
🗑
What % of the x-ray that strike a radiographic intensifying screen interact with the screen?   show
🗑
show luminescence  
🗑
show luminescent material or a phosphor  
🗑
show outer-shell electrons are raised to excited levels, the hole left is filled when the excited electron returns to its normal state, and light is emitted  
🗑
show luminescence  
🗑
What are the two types of luminescence?   show
🗑
show fluorescence  
🗑
-screen lag, after glow   show
🗑
show base, reflective layer, phosphor, protective coating  
🗑
show base  
🗑
show provides mechanical support for the phosphor layer  
🗑
Where is the reflective layer located?   show
🗑
show to redirect light to the film  
🗑
What does isotropically mean?   show
🗑
-the amt of light emitted and the efficiency or ease with which a screen converts x-ray energy to light energy   show
🗑
show phosphor layer  
🗑
show to convert the energy of the xray beam into visible light  
🗑
show protective coating  
🗑
What is the purpose of the protective coating layer?   show
🗑
Why is the back lid of the cassette have lead foil?   show
🗑
show high atomic #, high conversion efficiency, spectrally matched, no afterglow  
🗑
Why is it important for the crystals to have a high atomic number?   show
🗑
What color does calcium tungstate emit? rare earth?   show
🗑
Who developed calcium tungstate?   show
🗑
What is the primary advantage of rare earth screens?   show
🗑
show phosphor composition, active layer thickness,reflective layer, dye, crystal size, crystal concentration  
🗑
The thicker the active layer, the ____ is the relative number of xrays converted into light.   show
🗑
High speed screens have _____ active layers; fine detailed screens have ____ active layers.   show
🗑
show by larger crystals, thinner crystal layer, and using a reflective backing  
🗑
The presence of the reflective layer does what to screen speed but has what effect on resolution (detail)?   show
🗑
Why are light-absorbing dyes added to phosphors?   show
🗑
What effect does dye have to resolution and screen speed?   show
🗑
show higher decrease  
🗑
What are two extrinsic factors that affect screen speed?   show
🗑
As kVp increases, what happens to the screen speed?   show
🗑
As temp is lowered, what happens to screen speed?   show
🗑
show rugged and moisture resistant not suffer radiation damage/age flexible  
🗑
show detective quantum efficiency  
🗑
What kind of cassette will result in the highest intensification factor?   show
🗑
show resolution  
🗑
show line bar test tool  
🗑
show contrast resolution  
🗑

🗑
What is an advantage of direct exposure (not using screens)   show
🗑
What is another word for radiographic noise?   show
🗑
show To use a slower screen or to increase the mAs  
🗑
show more  
🗑
show once a mth  
🗑
What will be the result of poor film-screen contact?   show
🗑
Screen speed ____ as the screen ages?   show
🗑
show misues, dropping the cassette, warped front panel, warped screen due to excessive moisture, worn screen backing, foreign particulate btwn the screen and film, trapped airc  
🗑
