Vett 116 - Final Study Guide Which of the following may be responsibilities of the veterinary technician in the radiology suite or in obtaining radiographs? - Maintaining appropriate logs and medical records / Obtaining the correct image by using proper machine settings and patient positioning / Patient monitoring / Determining appropriate settings on the machine to produce a quality diagnostic image / Quality control and troubleshooting of technical errors X-rays are produced when charged particles are ______ by the atoms of a target area - Stopped or slowed down Electromagnetic radiation is a: - Method of transporting energy through space and is distinguished by wavelength, frequency, and energy Film badge readings are reported in millirem (mrem) or 1/1000 rem - True The frequency of a wavelength of radiation is measured by: - The number of cycles of the wave that pass a stationary point per second (cycles per second) Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength than x-rays and ultra-violet rays - True Electrons travel: - Around the nucleus in orbits called shells The number of cycles of of the wave that pass a stationary point in a second defines: - Frequency An x-ray beam is the ability of a substance to emit visible light - False The result of the interaction of electrons and atoms in the target is: - Heat 99% of the energy from fast moving electrons is converted into x-rays - False Which of the following radiation safety tasks may be the responsibility of the veterinary technician - Managing, ordering, mailing, and maintaining reports for dosimeter badges / Staff training in radiation safety / Ensure proper PPE is utilized by those performing radiographs and that the PPE is routinely checked and maintained Bundles of energy that travel in a wave are called: - Photons Technicians are legally able to interpret radiographic findings - False A(n) _____ is a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom - Proton X-ray electromagnetic radiation travels in a straight line but may be redirected in a new straight- line path once it reaches an object - True Which is NOT one of the 3 methods of radiation protection? - Patient positioning X-rays are generated when: - Fast moving electrons collide with matter _______ is a negative charged electrode and ______ is a positive charged electrode - Cathode , anode Which is NOT a particle found in an atom? - Photon Which of the following are primary factors in x-ray production and required for production of a properly exposed radiograph? - Time of exposure / Kilovoltage / Milliaamperage Film labels affixed to a traditional film image after the film has been processed and before storage may be more convenient, however, this increases the risk of misidentifying the radiograph. - True In digital radiography, the patient identification information is part of the: - DICOM tag The filament of the cathode is made
