Q

2 Types of radiation

A

Bremsstrahlung and Characteristic Radiation

22
Q

Displays radiographic image.

Placed within the cassette and exposed to x-ray.

23
Q

Functions of Films

A

Image Recording, Display, and Storage

24
Q

A rectangle or square plastic or metallic container used to hold x-ray films and intensifying screens.

25
A type of electromagnetic radiation that emanates from within the nuclei of radioactive atoms and are used to image the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals.
Gamma Rays
26
A type of electromagnetic radiation that produced in detecting x and gamma rays; used for the observation and interpretation of images.
Visible Light
27
A type of electromagnetic radiation that produced outside the nucleus and used in radiography and computed tomography.
X-rays
28
A type of electromagnetic radiation used as transmission and reception signal for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Radiofrequency
29
A type of x-ray radiation that has higher frequency that the near-ultraviolet region of spectrum. This type of radiation can alter molecules and cause harm.
Ionizing Radiation
30
A type of radiation that has low-energy and does not remove electrons from atoms.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
31
Two types of x-rays
Non-mobile and Mobile
32
Provide an appropriate standard of protection for man without limting beneficial practices of radiation exposure.
Radiation Protection
33
3 main principles of Radiation Protection.
Justification, Optimization of Protection, and Dose Limitation.
34
Was the primary body created to advance for the public to benefit the science of radiological protection.
ICRP
35
An estimate of the uniform, whole body equivalent dose that would produce same level of risk for adverse effects that results from the non-uniform radiation.
Effective Dose
36
What is the unit use for Effective Dose?
Sievert (Sv)
37
Describes the amount of radiation travelling through the air
Unit of Exposure
38
Energy deposited in a tissue by the radiation beam per unit mass of matter.
Absorbed Dose
39
What is the unit use for Unit of Exposure?
Roentgen (R) and Coulumb/kilogram (C/kg)
40
What is the unit used for Absorbed Dose?
Gray (Gy)
41
What is the recommended of radiation for people working with radiation every five years?
0.10 Sv
42
Annual dose limit for radiation workers.
20 mGy
43
typical dose for CT scan of chest?
10 mGy
44
a type of effect that is due to cell changes (DNA) and proliferation towards a malignant disease.
Stochastic Effect
45
a type of effect that is due to cell killing and have a close threshold-typically several Gy.
Deterministic Effects
46
It is used as a protection for radiation.
Lead Shields
47
In this view, the patient is able to stand or do an upright positioning.
PA View
48
In this view, patient is not able to stand up or position in an erect, upright positioning.
AP View
49
This type of view is used to confirm a particular abnormality that is seen in the initial chest PA/AP view.
Lateral View
50
This type of view is used when a suspicious density is seen in the upper lung area of the chest PA view.
Apicolordotic View
51
This type of view is used to confirm if the density seen in the chest PA/AP view is fluid or not.
Lateral Decubitus View
