F Part I Flashcards
used to plan tx for dentures, braces, extractions and implants
dental x-ray unit
for breast imaging
mammography unit
located at the front of II, accepts the screen-film cxt and parks it out of the way during fluoroscopy
cinefluoro unit
science of recording rad images electronically on a Se plate
xeroradiography unit
eliminiates undesirable “free play”
automatic cassette changer
permanent record is made and film cost is considerably reduced
photofluoroscopy unit
made of silver activated Zn-Cd Sulfide
output phosphor
image on the [..] is reduced in size which is one of the resons it is brighter
output phosphor
curved to ensure that electrons emitted at the peripheral regions of the photocathode travel the same dist as those emitted from the central region.
input phosphor
2 to 4mm thick and lined with lead to protect the operator from stray rad
glass envelope
it is where photoelectrons are converted to light photons.
output phosphor
dimmer image results due to
magnification
most commonly used [..] is a layer of sodium activated caesium iodide
input phosphor
converts light photons to photoelectrons
photocathode
comprises a very thin layer of antomony caesium alloy that has a spectral sensitivity well matched to the blue light emission of Csl;Na
Photocathode
