25
DENSITY depends on?
o milliamperage o kilovoltage peak o exposure time o density of the subject thickness o developmental conditions
26
refers to the darkening of the whole radiograph image itself
DENSITY
27
difference in contrasting radiodensities and the decrease of blackness in adjacent areas present in a dental radiograph
CONTRAST
28
refers to the ______ densities between two or more adjacent areas such as: enamel-dentin-cementum-bone
CONTRAST
29
essential in the differentiation of structures
CONTRAST
30
short contrast scale A. Two Densities B. Many Densities
A
31
long contrast scale A. Two Densities B. Many Densities
B
32
can be influenced by the film quality and processing
CONTRAST
33
object influences the radiographic contrast
SUBJECT CONTRAST
34
influenced by the thickness, density & composition of the subject
SUBJECT CONTRAST
35
depends on the kilovoltage peak
RADIOGRAPHIC CONTRAST
36
decreased contrast A. Increased kvP B. Decreased kvP
A
37
increased contrast A. Increased kvP B. Decreased kvP
B
38
CONTRAST is also influenced by:
o milliamperage o exposure time o processing conditions
39
how well a boundary between 2 contrasting radiodensities is delineated
SHARPNESS
40
fuzzy unclearness surrounding the radioactive image
PENUMBRA
41
the sharpness/blurriness of the radiographic image depends on the focal spot:
PENUMBRA
42
“pen”
almost
43
“umbra”
shadow
44
large shadow A. Large Focal Spot B. Small Focal Spot
A
45
less shadow A. Large Focal Spot B. Small Focal Spot
B
46
better, giving a sharper image A. Large Focal Spot B. Small Focal Spot
B
47
______ also depends on the film composition and the size of the silver halide crystals
sharpness
48
the emulsion of faster film are large silver halide crystals that produce less image ____
sharpness
49
smaller silver bromide crystals produce a sharper image
sharpness
50
another factor is movement which causes loss of image sharpness; could be due to ____[3]
cone, patient or receptor
51
____ problems could include: loose areas, hinges, or screws
cone
52
radiographic image that appears larger than the actual size of the object radiographed
MAGNIFICATION
53
ex.: the tooth length of tooth 11 is 19-25 mm; when the radiograph reaches 30 mm or larger, the cone/film must be repositioned to adjust the ____
MAGNIFICATION
54
factors that influence magnification:
o source-object distance o object-film distance o large effective focal spot
55
T or f increasing the target-object distance will decrease magnification
T
56
ex.: using a 16-inch cone produces an image almost the same length as the actual object, while using an 8-inch cone will produce a larger radiographic image
MAGNIFICATION
57
T or f Increasing object-film distance will decrease magnification
F (DECREASING object-film distance will decrease magnification)
58
a variation in the size and shape of the object being radiographed
DISTORTION
59
caused by improper object-film alignment
DISTORTION
60
film must be parallel to the tooth and perpendicular to the x-ray beam (depending on the technique)
DISTORTION
61
this makes the tooth appear larger or fatter (when toward you) or thinner (away from you)
DISTORTION
62
x-ray tube with a wrong vertical angulation will elongate or shorten the tooth
DISTORTION
63
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE A RADIOGRAPH’S DIAGNOSTIC QUALITY. [11]
→ milliamperage → kilovoltage peak → exposure time → density of the object → speed of the film → collimation → source-object distance → inverse square law → ideal technique and film processing conditions → good x-ray film quality → use of a small effective focal spot
64
helps as a diagnosis tool
