17 year old wants to take xrays for you-> what does he have to do
wait until the next summer when he is 18
26
what is a quantum mottle
a prominent graininess to the film
27
kink marks (crescent marks) occur from what
bending or crimping the film
28
when is a latent image present
after exposing the film but before processing it
29
generally, what would make the phosphor layer of the screen faster
thicker composition
30
what types of films will create the radiographic image with greatest detail
single emulsion
31
what color is recommended for your darkroom walls
black
32
a 1200 screen speed system will usually demonstrate what appearance
the film will be grainy
33
what is the name for the usual test for film screen contact
wire mesh test
34
with gradient screens, what would be true
the lumbar section has the fastest speed
35
silver is usually recovered from what fluid
fixer
36
what should be considered if you are manually processing 30 14x17" films per week
get an automatic processor
37
what is the usual recommended optimal developing temperature for manual processing
68 degrees
38
densitometry and densitometry are primarily used for what purpose
to monitor processor function
39
in what step of manual processing does a "kissing" artifact occur
developing
40
how could you best see the L5-S1 disc space and sacrum on an AP film
use a cephalic tube tilt
41
what relates to a dosimeter
a film badge
42
what should you check when constructing an xray facility to make sure you are up to code with lead lining
your local state requirements
43
in inches, a secondary barrier needs to have how much lead equivalency
1/32
44
what is true about occupational dose limits
it should not exceed 5 rems per year for the whole body
45
all photos look fogged-> dryer temp is 102 degrees, film box is purple, safe light filter is amber, box is standing on end-> likely cause
his processor dryer temperature is too hot
46
in order to justify an automatic processor, 20-25 14x17" films should be run through in what time period
per week
47
if your temperature is too high in the dryer part of your automatic processor, what would be the most likely
the films will probably have water spots
48
with manual processing after a film is first put into a solution, what is the next recommended thing to do
agitate it
49
if you have 2 films of a patient that demonstrates a kissing artifact, why do ou suspect it could be necessary to retake the films
because kissing artifacts can be mistaken for pathologies
50
if your developer smells like ammonia, what does it usually mean
it is oxidized
51
where would you place the wire mesh for a wire mesh test
on the cassette
