Question
Answer
show *ma *kVp *time *SID  
🗑
mA x time=   show
🗑
what is the k shell binding energy for bone   show
🗑
what does mA control   show
🗑
what does kVp control   show
🗑
what is the purpose of technique charts   show
🗑
what are the two types of technique charts   show
🗑
what happens with a variable kVp chart   show
🗑
what happens with a fixed kVp chart   show
🗑
no amount of _______ can make up for inadequate _______   show
🗑
what equipment is used to develop technique charts   show
🗑
show *infants(0-2 yrs)-use 1/4 of mAs *preschool(2-6 yrs)-use 1/2 of mAs *school age(6-12 yrs)-use 3/4 of mAs *teens (>12)-no change  
🗑
what are the rules of thumb regarding technique with a cast   show
🗑
show *14 x 17 to 10 x 12- 40% more mAs or +5 kVp *14 x 17 to 8 x 10- 60% more mAs or +10 kVp  
🗑
show motion/recorded detail  
🗑
show *mA x time *mA1/mA2=t2/t1 *indirect relationship between mA and time  
🗑
show *mAs1/mAs2=SID1 squared/SID2 squared *applied when unable to get optimal distance *based upon inverse square law *if no time just use mA to calculate *if no mA just use time to calculate **distance must always be squared *direct relationship  
🗑
what is the 15% kVp rule   show
🗑
show I1/I2=D2 squared/D1 squared *the intensity of radiation is inversely related to distance squared  
🗑
show *image size/object size *percent mag=oid/sod *mag factor=sid/sod  
🗑
what are the grid conversions for mAs   show
🗑
what are the grid conversions for kVp   show
🗑
how do you calculate screen conversion   show
🗑
show *photographic effect *numerical representation of optical density *PE= (mAxtxkVp squared/SID squared)x IR/grid *if factor missing, leave out of equation  
🗑
show *single phase to 3-phase(1/2 mAs or drop 10 kVp) *3-phase to single phase(2x mAs or +10 kVp)  
🗑
what is the advantage of 3 phase equipment   show
🗑
show 3 phases of alternating current, rectifiers eliminate negative current allowing more output  
🗑


   

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.
