Update
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.

Update
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
Code of Ethics
Rules of Ethics
Minimizing radiation dose shielding, time, distance
Tools in radiation protection Limiting the field of x-ray exposure
Controlling the x-ray beam's kilovoltage peak (kVp) and milliampere seconds (mAs)
Avoiding the unnecessary duplication of exams
Screening for pregnancy
Getting it right the first time
Beam restriction Limiting the size of the x-ray exposure field reduces the volume of tissue
irradiated and limits the radiation dose to the patient.
