The radiation that exits the Remnat radiation
opposite side of the
patient to expose the
image receptor (IR) is
called:
The term used to describe Attenuation
radiation that is absorbed
by matter is:
The "unseen" image that is Latent image
contained in the image
receptor (IR) before it is
processed is called the:
The radiation that exits the Scattered
body in all directions and
causes unwanted
exposure on the image
receptor (IR) as well as
anyone who is in the room
is called __________ radiation.
The radiation that exits the Primary
x-ray tube and travels in-
air to the patient is called:
The boxlike device Collimator
attached under the tube
housing that allows the
limited operator to vary
the size of the radiation
field is called the:
An invisible line in the Central Ray
center of the x-ray beam
and perpendicular to the
long axis of the x-ray tube
is called the:

An exposure time of 0.02 20 msec
seconds is equal to how
many milliseconds?
The number 9 squared is 81
equal to:
The number 4 is the 16
square root of:
When 62 kVp is increased 81
by 30%, the result is
approximately:
When the fraction 7/8 is 0.875
converted to a decimal,
the result is:
When 230% is expressed 2.3
as a decimal, the result is:
A radiographic image is 50 mAs
made using 500 mA, 0.1
sec., 80 kVp, and
48-inches SID. The value
of the mAs for this
exposure is
X-rays have 186,000 miles per second
electromagnetic energy.
The velocity (or speed) of
this energy travels at a
speed of:
The smallest possible unit Photon
of electromagnetic energy
is the:
The electrical current Milliamperes
flowing in an x-ray tube is
measured in:

The force or strength of Kilovoltage
the electron flow in an
electrical current is
measured in:
The device used to Transformer
produce the high voltage
needed for x-ray
production is called the:
In radiology, 80,000 volts 80 kVp
is converted to:
The target and the Tungsten
filament in the x-ray tube
are made of:
Electrons are made Thermionic emission
available in the filament of
the x-ray tube by a
process called:
The anode in x-ray tubes Dissipate the heat
rotates at a high rpm to:
The target in the x-ray 1 and 3
tube is angled to affect
