Dental Radiography Flashcards
Who took the first intraoral radiograph
Walkhoff
Who was a professor of physics and discovered x-Ray
Roentgen
Rays are rays that travel in straight lines and give off a Grenade glow
Cathode
The loss of an electron is called
Ionization
All of the following are examples of electromagnetic radiation except
Beta rays
The open -ended tube commonly referred to as the cone is
Position indicator device PID
What is a negative electrode that produce electrons
Anode
The sharpeness or definition or the radiograph is determined by
Focal spot
What is the positive electrode that sits opposite the cathode within the X-Ray tube
Anode
The electric current flows through the filament circuit and heats the
Cathode filament
Thermionic emission is created by a
Filament wire heated to incandescence
Within the x-Ray machine the direction of electric current flows from the
Filament of the cathode to the target of the anothe
Radiation is the central beam that comes from the x-ray strides or comes in contact with matter
Secondary
Radiation is deflected from its path as it strikes matter
