TCDHA Rad Theory-Weeks 10-15 | | | |




Exam with precise detailed | | | |




solutions

Film Processing - Correct answer ✔a series of steps that produce a visible
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




permanent diagnostic image on a dental radiograph
| | | | | |




purpose of chemical processing - Correct answer ✔1) covert latent image->
| | | | | | | | | | |




visible image |




2) preserve visible image
| | |




latent image - Correct answer ✔invisible image
| | | | | |




- becomes visible under special dark room conditions
| | | | | | |




-remains invisible within the film emulsion until it undergoes chemical
| | | | | | | | | |




processing procedures. |




silver halide crystals - Correct answer ✔-absorb x-radiation during X-ray
| | | | | | | | | |




exposure and store X-ray from the radiation
| | | | | |




reduction - Correct answer ✔-the halide portion of the exposed, energized silver
| | | | | | | | | | |




halide crystals are removed
| | | |




-result in black metallic silver images
| | | | |

,selective reduction - Correct answer ✔-reduction of energized- crystals = black
| | | | | | | | | | |




metallic silver | |




-unexposed, unenergized crystals= removed from film
| | | | |




developer solution - Correct answer ✔-chemical solution
| | | | | |




-distinguish between exposed/ unexposed silver halide crystals
| | | | | |




-initiates chemical reaction- reduces exposed silver halide crystals -> black
| | | | | | | | | |




metallic silver + dark/black areas on radiograph
| | | | | |




-unexposed crystals= unaffected by developer
| | | |




- ideal temp= 20C (68F)
| | | |




fixer solution - Correct answer ✔-chemical solution
| | | | | | |




- removes unexposed halide crystals= white/clear areas on radiograph
| | | | | | | | |




- the black- metallic silver remains on the film (not removed)
| | | | | | | | | |




film processing solutions - Correct answer ✔-fresh chemicals produce best
| | | | | | | | | |




radiographs

-replenished daily- changed every 3-4 weeks | | | | |




developer composition - Correct answer ✔developing agent, preservative,
| | | | | | | |




accelerator, restrainer |




developing/reducing agent - Correct answer ✔- optimum temp= 68F | | | | | | | |

,-hydroquinone- converts exposed crystals to black metallic silver= producing| | | | | | | | |




black tones and contrast
| | | |




-elon/metol- converts crystals to black metallic silver= many shades of grey on
| | | | | | | | | | | |




a radiograph
|




preservative (developer) - Correct answer ✔sodium sulfite- prevents oxidation
| | | | | | | | |




of the developing agents
| | |




accelerator - Correct answer ✔sodium carbonate- activates developing agents
| | | | | | | |




-provides alkaline environment for developing agents
| | | | |




-softens gelatine of film emulsion
| | | |




restrainer - Correct answer ✔potassium bromide- controls developer
| | | | | | |




- prevents developer from developing unexposed crystals
| | | | | |




-prevents fogging |




fixer composition - Correct answer ✔fixing agent, preservative, hardening
| | | | | | | | |




agent, acidifier |




fixing/ clearing agent - Correct answer ✔*ammonium thiosulfate/sodium
| | | | | | | |




thiosulfate*

-removes/clears all unexposed developed crystals from emulsion | | | | | |




Preservative in fixer - Correct answer ✔sodium sulfite - prevents the
| | | | | | | | | | |




deterioration of the fixing agent | | | |

, hardening agent - Correct answer ✔potassium alum- hards and shrinks
| | | | | | | | | |




emulsion



acidifier - Correct answer ✔acetic acid or sulfuric acid
| | | | | | | |




-neutralizes alkaline developer- stops further development
| | | | |




-produces necessary acidic environment
| | |




automatic processing - Correct answer ✔roller transport system to move the
| | | | | | | | | | |




dental film through the Developer,fixer,water, drying compartments
| | | | | |




components of automatic processor - Correct answer ✔-drying compartment
| | | | | | | |




-replenisher pump/solutions |




-film recovery slot
| |




light film - Correct answer ✔appears very light- low density
| | | | | | | | | |




- causes: insufficient developing time, low developer temp, contaminated
| | | | | | | | |




developer, inaccurate timer/thermometer
| |




dark film - Correct answer ✔appears very dark- high density
| | | | | | | | |




- causes: excessive developing time, high temp, inaccurate timer/thermometer
| | | | | | | |




reticulation - Correct answer ✔cause: sudden change between developer and
| | | | | | | | | |




water bath temp
| |
