Which of the following is the date of the discovery of x-rays
a. November 5, 1885
b. November 5, 1895
c. November 8, 1885
d. November 8, 1895✔✔d. November 8, 1895
Anode✔✔Positive electrode
Cathode✔✔Negative electrode
Photographic plates✔✔exposed to x-rays created images
Early use of X-Rays could cause?✔✔radiation burns and operator electrocutions
X-rays were harmless as the scientific community initially thought.✔✔False. X-rays
were quite harmful if exposed for long time
Treatment for radiation burns was amputation.✔✔True
acute radiodermatitis✔✔radiation burns
Clarence Dally✔✔Assistant to Thomas Edison. First x-Ray fatality in the U.S.
Signs of a Rad Techs in the early days✔✔Amputations and gloved hands became
identifying traits of the profession.
X-ray Dermatitis✔✔Effects of Over exposure
fluoroscope apparatus✔✔A device that allows dynamic x-ray examination using x-
rays and a fluorescent screen
ionizing radiation✔✔radiation with sufficient energy to ionize atoms
Fundamental quantities✔✔mass, length, time
derived quantities✔✔acceleration, force, momentum, work, and power
Radiologic quantities ( special Quantities )✔✔dose, dose equivalent, exposure, and
radioactivity
Forms of energy✔✔These include electromagnetic (The one for Rad tech), electrical,
chemical, and thermal.
, Potential energy is energy in a✔✔stored state.
Kinetic energy is energy being expended✔✔being expended
Inertia is the property of an✔✔object with mass that resists a change in its state of
motion.
roentgen(R) British System; coulomb/kilogram (C/kg) Metric System✔✔a measure of
the number of electrons liberated by ionization per kilogram of air.
radiation absorbed dose (rad) British Sys; gray ( Gy) Metric Sys✔✔the unit for
absorbed dose.
radiation equivalent man (rem) British Sys: sievert (Sv) Metric Sys✔✔is used to
quantify occupational exposure or dose equivalent.
curie (Ci) British Sys; Becquerel (Bq) Metric Sys✔✔used to quantify radioactivity.
Radiographic equipment may be classified as✔✔mobile or permanently installed
tube stand or tube mount✔✔the portion of the tube head assembly that gives
mobility to the x-ray tube.
table✔✔Needed to easily position patients for examination
Designed to raise and lower
Has a four-way floating top with electromagnetic locks
A variation is used with fluoroscopy equipment
Wall unit✔✔It consists of a vertical rail assembly affixed to the wall and floor and a
vertical Bucky assembly.
The rail allows for adjustment of the height of the vertical Bucky.
The vertical Bucky is the same as the horizontal one in the table and serves the
same purpose.
The wall unit allows for easily obtained upright examination.
Control panel✔✔Used by the radiographer to select the kilovoltage and
milliamperage that is applied to the x-ray tube to produce x-rays
Allows the radiographer to fine-tune or modify exposure parameters to best image
the area of the body of interest
As low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) principle✔✔A radiographer has a
responsibility to minimize radiation dose to the patient, oneself, and others.
What does ASRT stand for?✔✔American Society of Radiologic Technologists
What does ARRT stand for?✔✔American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
