Question 1: Quality of x-ray beam
Answer:
The mean energy or penetrating ability of the x-ray beam.
Question 2: Thyroid collar
Answer:
A flexible lead shield that is placed securely around the neck.
Question 3: What are the primary components of an x-ray machine?
Answer:
1.Tubehead 2.Extension arm 3.Control panel
Question 4: DIAGNOSTIC QUALITY IMAGES
Answer:
DIAGNOSTIC QUALITY IMAGES ALLOW THE DENTIST TO LOOK AT A RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE
AND BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT EVERYTHING IS IN THE IMAGE AND BE ABLE TO MAKE AN
ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS.
Question 5: Tissue damage
Answer:
Not all x-rays pass through the patient and reach the receptor Patient tissues absorb some x-rays When photon energy is absorbed, chemical changes result in biologic damage
Question 6: Sharpness
Answer:
A measure of how well an image reproduces the fine details or outline of an object.
Question 7: Kilovoltage peak (kVp)
Answer:
Highest voltage of x-ray tube used during an exposure and it is used to control the penetrating power of the x-ray beam It is used to control the penetrating power of the x-ray beam. Dental x-ray machines generally operate at 70 or 90 kVp
Question 8: Name the types of Radiation.
Answer:
Primary Radiation Secondary Radiation Scatter Radiation
Question 9: ion
Answer:
An electrically charged particle.
Question 10: What is quality?
Answer:
QUALITY IS PENETRATING ABILITY, OR STRENGTH, OR POWER. HOW STRONG IS YOUR BEAM
IS DETERMINED BY KV.
Question 11: WHAT IS IMGE DENSITY ?
Answer:
IT IS HOW DARK IS YOUR IMAGE. A DENSE IMAGE IS VERY DARK. AN IMAGE THAT LACKS
DENSITY IS TOO LIGHT.
The image Too Dark because the quality of the beam too high The image Too Light because the quality of the beam too low
Question 12: ionizing radiation
Answer:
All ionizing radiation is harmful and produces biologic changes in living tissue Dental imaging is a low amount, however still harmful Entire x-ray area is a radiation hazard area Proper signage is required
Question 13: ionizing
Answer:
radiation Radiation that produces ionization, resulting in harmful effects.
Question 14: what is LOWER CONTRAST?
Answer:
LOWER CONTRAST.. BLACK ISN'T AS DARK, WHITE ISN'T AS LIGHT, MORE SHADES OF GREY
BETWEEN. LOW CONTRAST, LONG GREY SCALE. LOWER KVP
Question 15: Who was the first person to make practical use of x-rays in dentistry?
Answer:
Edmund Kells
Question 16: Radiology
Answer:
The science or study of radiation as used in medicine.
Question 17: Predetermined settings
Answer:
Old machines adjusted manually
Question 18: Tubehead seal
Answer:
Made of leaded glass or aluminum Keeps the oil in the tubehead, and acts as a filter for the x-ray beam
Question 19: what is Correct density enables the dentist to view?
Answer:
Black areas (air spaces, pulp chamber, abscesses) White areas (enamel, dentin, bone) Grey areas (soft tissues)
Question 20: Central ray
Answer:
X-rays at the center of the beam.
Question 21: What does the control panel contain?
Answer:
1.Master switch 2.Indicator light 3.Selector buttons 4.Exposure button
Question 22: What are the three characteristics of the x-ray beam?
Answer:
Quality Quantity Intensity
Question 23: Digital imaging
Answer:
A filmless method of capturing an image and displaying it by using an image receptor, an electronic signal, and a computer to process and store the image.
Question 24: Three characteristics of the x-ray beam.
Answer:
1-quality, 2- quantity, 3- intensity this alow us to change the image of the radiopaque and the image detail as well
