Q

Contributes to radiation dose

A

cosmic rays
medical rays
gamma radation
radioactive radon gas from ground

25
Q

radiiology lesilation

A

ionisig radaition regulation 2017
ionising radiation medical exposure regulation 2017 (just for patient saftety only)

26
Q

annual radiation dise

A

2.7mSv

27
Q

Doses for xray fils

A

PA = 4milliSv
ceph = 14mill Sv
panoral = 20 milli sv
cbct = 50-100milli sv

28
Q

Pricnicples of radiation

A

dose limitation
justification
ALARP

29
Q

Roles in IRR17

A

operator - prson who carries out taking the xray
referrer - person who refers the pt for the xray indiating clincal reasoning to allow practioner to justify exam
practioner
person who ensures as low as possible for patient and justifaction to be given
Radiation protection advisoer - expert report on ensure ioningig radiation regulation re followed, and adviced

radiation protection superisor - ensure that legal requirments and good practice are followed
medical physic expers - can provide info on the physics behind the radiation exposure to pt and taken the xrays

30
Q

Faults to film

A

black film = film bent
brown spots - inaqaute fixing time
crazed pattern - dried too quickyl over heat source
fading image - inadequate fixing time
faint image -d eveloper solution too weak, temp too low
black spots - splashing with fixer before developer
crystal present - insufiifcent washing after fixing

31
Q

Cone cutting why-

A

incorrect assembly of the receptor holder
incorrect allignment of receptor and tube head
incorrect orietation of rectangular collimator

32
Q

Film speed

A

the speed required to allow enough xray exposure to produce an image
depends on the number of hallide crystals
the larger the hallide crysal the faster film speed but pooer image quality

33
Q

Stages of film processing

A

developing - converts senstisited crystal to silver pataches
washing - removes any residual fixer solution
developing - removes non senstised crystal and hardens emulsion
washing - removes any resifual fixer solution
drying - removes any mositure and water content

34
Q

Adv./dis of digital films

A

advatanges - can sotres many on computer, easily trasnfereed, low exposure time, eaasy back up of images, no processing faults

dis - need speaclised computer for diagnositic reading which is expensive, poor pixel quality when printed out, potential loss of data, risk o fpixelation

35
Q

CBCT vs CT

A

CBCT - cone shaped, does not require ionising radiatin, not great for soft tissue, pt standing up, quicker to take, low dose

CT - fan shaped, shows soft tissues better, higher dose, takes longer totake, pt horixzonta , requires ioodinsiing contrast to be used

36
Q

MRI vs CT

A

MRI - shows soft tissue easily, has no radiation expsure, no contracts required
takes a long tim, clasutrpophia, metallic things in body, nosiy for pt

CT - requires ionisdaing radiation exposure, cntrast, more for tumours, blood vessels, flashing noise adn sound
quicker, small ring so reduced calasutrophbia

37
Q

safety controlled area

A

2m a saftety ring around the pt where no person should go while the xray is being taken

38
Q

Cervical burnout

A

a radiolucnecy that appears at the cervical area of a tooth due to just being dentine present at the cervical portion and mimics root caries

39
Q

Faults

A

<90 degrees = elongates the tooth
>90 degrees = shortens the tooth
vertical/horizontal distortion - the pt moved
molars larger on one side = head rotated and bt not being symmertical on the bite peg
anterior area out of focus - pt too far back in the machine - canine behind guidance marker
posterior horizontally wider -pt roated in the machine

40
Q

Ghost images

A

second image of something in the wrong place
higher due to negaative beaam angulation
radiopaque
can interfere with diagnosis
horizontally projected andmagnied
change in aterior - posterioer position - suually further forwards

41
Q

Ghost image produced

A

the xray tube head starts posteriorl ad the rba is directed to the opposite tmj region, as it moves round when it gets to the premolar region the image is created from a more posterior region and therefore any ghost images are anterioly produced

higher placement as negative beam angualtion
radiopaque
interefers with diagnosis
horizotnoally maginifed and projected
tends to be more anterio-postieorr positioned

42
Q

parallelin tech

A

the image receptor is heald parallel to the the long axis of the tooth
the xray beam is directd perpendicular to the long axis of tooth
the image is the same size
no coning off
no disotortiong
howver can cause divergent xray beaams and magnifcation due to distance between the xray recptior and tooth
use focus to skin distance at 20cm the ensure to help with divergent beams`

43
Q

bisecting angle techingque

A

the angulation of the long axis of the tooth is determined
the xray receptor bisects at right angles to this
can be doen withoutxray holder

44
Q

Curve of monsoon

A

affects vertical angulation
cusp tips of posterior in frontal plane

45
Q

curve of sppe

A

natural curvature in dentitision when the cclusion vied in saggital plane

46
Q

Reduce radiation to pt

A

rectangular collimator
f spped film
justifaction
alarp
focus to skin distance at 20cm
film holders and beam aiing device
incrase kvp

47
Q

odontogenic tumours

A

arise from the remaining tooth tisuue cells that remain in the jaw

48
Q

Ameloblastoma

A

epithelium only - odontogenic neoplasm
a soap bubble appearnce on xrays
occurs mainly in the posterio manidble
follicular - islands of epithelium
plexiform - single strands of epithelium
no internal capsule prsent so easily spreads and thereofre recurrence is high
islands contain stellate reticulum with on its perpihery columnasr cells
nuclia away from the basement mmebrane
abudentl cytoplasm

tx - enucleation with some removal of surrounding helahty tissue , cannot be radiotreated as does not work

49
Q

calcifying epithelium odnotigenic tuours

A

epithelium only
benign epithelium tumour
occurs in posterior mandible
also called pindborg tumour
arreas of radioilucy mixed with calicification
pleomoprihc epithelium and calcification present

50
Q

odontomes

A

epithelium and mesenchmye together
hamartomas - resemble local tooth tissue
complex - irregular mass of hard tissue - manidble posterior
compound - denticles in a sac - anterior maxillary
contain, ameloblasts, odontoblasts and cementoblasts and eventuallyhard tissue forms
failure of eruption of a nearby tooth

tx - surgical enulceation

51
Q

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour

A

epithelium only
asscoated with an impeded eruption
unilocular
haematroma
fisbour caspure surrounds anterior region f>m

52
Q

Odontogenic myoxma

A

mesechnyme only
bening meschnyme tumour
no internal apsule or epithelium
manidble common
multilocular soap like appearance
myoid tissue with stellate and fibrous tissue

tx - block resection

53
Q

Cementoblastoma

A

meschenyme only
true neoplasm
occurs in vital teeth that are extruded or painful
