radiology: NOMAD Exam Questions and
Answers|Latest Update
the duty cycle (rest period between exposures) to protect your nomad pro is as follows: -6
seconds for exposure of .09 seconds long
-12 seconds for an exposure .20 seconds long
-24 seconds for an exposure .40 seconds long
the technique factor for making exposures: -represented in a chart that is for reference
only in establishing a customized exposure technique in your office
-included on the CD for in a blank form format for creating a customized technique factor chart
for our office
-will be affected by various factors; preferences, techniques, film or sensor speed and patient
mass
-can be reprogrammed by the operator into the nomad pro
radiation safety is at the heart of the NOMAD pro design. the nomad pro has: -primary
shielding to contain the x-ray beam as it is generated
-secondary shielding to contain backscatter radiation away from the operator when properly
positioned
, -smaller cone and focal point diameter for reduced patient exposure and enhanced image quality
maximum protection exists when the shield is at the outer edge of the cone, close to the subject,
and parallel to the operator true
in order to minimize cone cutting, nomad pro must be properly positioned relative to the imaging
system. check compatibility with film holding kits or aiming devices in advance true
the various imaging sensors and film speeds and brands available, patient mass, and the
technician techniques are some of the factors that would require increased exposure time
true
the green LED and the green background for the time setting on the screen indicates that the
nomad pro is ready to fire x-rays on the next trigger pull true
true or false: NOMAD Pro's smaller diameter cone, combined with the use of DC power, and
primary shielding greatly reduce a patients x-ray exposure true
the nomad may be operated solo by a technician while they are still in training on how to use the
device false
