Radiation - A form of energy carried by waves or a stream of particles The emission and propagation of energy through space or a substance in the form of waves or particles. X-radiation - 1. High energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal target in an X-ray tube 2. High energy, ionizing electromagnetic radiation. X-ray - Weightless bundles of energy (photons) without electrical charge that travel in waves with a specific frequency at the speed of ...

When taking a pano radiograph of an obese pt, as compared to a slim pt, exposure (kvp or ma) should? -Be decreased -Be increased -Remain the same - Answer: Be increased Explanation: Pts w/ more tissue (obese) or with denser bone structure, require more penetrating power so kvp would need to be increased, and/or more x-rays would be required, so ma would be increased. The major disadvantage of the bisecting technique angle technique is that? -The film is more difficult to place -Image d...

The American dental association recommends that radiographs be mounted with the embossed dots Ans. All facing the same direction Radiolucent Ans. The dark or black portions of the image; result from the passage of energies through less dense areas (pulp, caries, foramen) To view an abscess on tooth #25 the best radiographic expose is Ans. A periapical Which radiograph technique is recommended for a patient with a shallow palate? Ans. Bisecting angle technique Radiopaque Ans. Lig...

Is an example of a patient protection technique used before x-ray exposure? - Proper prescribing of radiographs The Collimator: - Restricts the size and shape of the x-ray beam Which Type of PID would be most effective in reducing patient exposure? - 8 inch rectangular PID Speed film is currently the fastest intraoral film available? - F On some dental x-ray machines, only the ____can be altered; the other parameters are preset by the manufacturer. - Exposure Time Which one o...

When taking a panoramic obese patient, as compared radiograph of an to a slim patient, exposure (kvp or ma) should - be increased The major disadvantage of the bisecting angle technique is that - place image distortion is more likely To reduce cross-contamination during radiography, the DCD and ADA recommend that the operators do all of the following except - take complete medical histories Ideally, a lead apron would be used - for any dental radiographs A full mouth radiographic...
