Anatomical Position correct answersImages are viewed in this position.
The patient standing erect, facing forward with the palms of the hands
facing forward.
Bucky correct answersA mechanism for moving the grid. (Potter-
Diaphragm)
Central Ray correct answersThe geometrical center of the beam of
radiation emitted from the x-ray tube.
Chart correct answersThe complete record of past and current data kept for
each patient containing details such as history, results of diagnostic tests,
signs and symptoms, vital signs, physician's findings, nurse's notes, or
medications administered.
Collimation (Coning) correct answersTerm used to refer to limiting the field
of radiation produced. Performed with an adjustable shutter system
mounted over the tube "window" for the purpose of limiting and shaping
the field of radiation. Can be automatically programmed to the imaging
plate (cassette) size.
Computed Radiography (CR) correct answersUses digital technology with
a photostimulable phosphor plate within a cassette in order to produce
digital images.
Consent Form correct answersLegal document completed and signed by
patient and technologist/radiologist. Confirms invasive radiographic
procedure has been explained and patient is agreeable to continue.
Contrast Media correct answersA group of substances utilized for
introduction into a body organ, cavity, or vessel to make visualization
possible on the resultant radiograph.
Control Panel correct answersThe areas of the x-ray machine where
kilovoltage, milliamps, exposure time, etc. is selected and monitored.
The equipment component used to regulate radiation by adjusting
kilovoltage, milliamperage and exposure time.
Digital Radiography (DR) correct answersUses digital technology and special
electronic detectors to produce digital images.
Digitizer/CR Reader correct answersConverts the scanned electronic
signal from the imaging plate for image display on a monitor.
