Radiography Test Three Choter 8,9, 10,11, Q12, 13,14 Flashcards
Air space freely permits the passage of dental x ray and appears
Mostly radiolucent
Radiolucent
The portion of the radiograph that is black or dark.
Radiopaque
Portion of the processed radiograph that appears light or white.
Density
Overall blackness.
Today most modern machine do not allow for adjustment of
Milliamprage
Not being able to adjust the milliamprage results in
More x rays that the receptor is exposed to thus more density
Contrast
The difference in degrees of density ( blackness) between adjacent areas.
The difference in the amount of light transmitted through adjacent areas can also be called
Contrast
When viewed on a light source, a dental radiograph that has very dark areas and very little light areas is said to have
High contrast.
An increase in development time or development temperature results in a film with
High contrast
The range of useful densities seen on a dental radiograph is termed.
Scale of contrast.
The smaller the focal spot area
The sharper the image.
The larger the focal spot area
The greater is the loss of image sharpness.
Manual film processing also known as
Hand processing or tank processing
Manual film processings five steps
development, rinsing , fixing ,washing ,drying
