A

Quick beams into the body; see body structures (Ionizing)

64
Q

Ultrasound used for?

A

High Frequency sound waves (non-Ionizing)

65
Q

CT Scan used for?

A

Low dose rays taken to examine (big machine) (Ionizing)

66
Q

MRI used for?

A

Low dose radio waves taken to examine (non-ionizing)

67
Q

A

Injection of radiation (ionizing)

68
Q

Fluoroscopy used for?

A

Live X-ray imaging ; Recorded (ionizing)

69

Show blood and lymph

70
Q

Clinical Education Importance

A

is essential to the development of competent medical imaging professionals. ARRT provides exam after grad

71
Q

Good Qualities of Employee

A

Prepared, Effective, Efficient, Confident, Knowledgeable

72
Q

Radiographer vs Radiologist

A

Radiographer takes the x-rays and aids in scanning. Radiologist interprets the scans to help with diagnosis

73
Q

Variables of Radiation

A

Exposure factor, Beam Quality, Patient Characteristics, Distance, Radiographic grids, X-ray beam modifications, IR Characteristics,

74
Q

OID

A

Distance between Object (body part)

75
Q

SID

A

Distance between source (x-ray source)

76
Q

Changing SID and OID

A

OID effects image sharpness, SID effects intensity of beams

77
Q

Contrast of Image

A

Difference between black and white on an image. KvP controls contrast

78
Q

Amount/Quantity of X-ray beams

A

Produced in X-ray tube. mAs controls the amount (more quantity; greater IR exposure)

79
Q

Amount of Image Signal

Controlled by kVp

80
Q

Quality and Penetration of X-ray beams

A

Controlled by kVp

81
Q

C-Arms and Portable X-ray machines

Q

3 Things needed to create X-rays

A

Source of Electrons (cathode), Acceleration (Voltage), Stop Electrons (anode)

84
Q

Non-Diagnostic and Remnant

A
