Denning [Date] [Course title]
, shortest possible exposure time - Correct Answer: the minimum response time of an automatic
exposure control (AEC) (also called photo timing)
inherent filtration (built in) - Correct Answer: together, the filtering effect of the x-ray tube's glass
envelope and its oil coolant are referred to as:
periodic checks for cracks - Correct Answer: proper care of leaded aprons includes:
thermionic emission - Correct Answer: the source of electrons with the x-ray tube is a result of:
underexposed radiographic image - Correct Answer: inadequate collimation when using the AEC often
results in:
extends x-ray tube life - Correct Answer: low mAs/high kVp exposure factors, avoiding lengthy anode
rotation, avoiding exposures to a cold anode
tube current, target material - Correct Answer: the total number of x-ray photons produced at the target
is contingent upon:
filament circuit - Correct Answer: in which of the following portions of the x-ray circuit is a step down
transformer located?
grid - Correct Answer: what's the device that is used to absorb scattered radiation produced in the
patient before it reaches the IR?
acts as an additional filter, reduce tube output, resulting in arcing and tube puncture - Correct Answer:
as the x-ray tube filament ages, it becomes progressively thinner due to evaporation. The vaporized
tungsten is frequently deposited on the window of the glass envelope. This may:
overexposure, over development - Correct Answer: a film emerging from the automatic processor
exhibits excessive density. This may be attributed to:
