final review Flashcards
not everything - main things for me to review (35 cards)
properties of EMR
- affect photographic film
- ability to penetrate tissues
- biological changes to tissue
collimator
mainly limits exposed area
flow of electrons
cathode to anode end
position for animal with severe heart failure
VD - on back
injured animal
injured area face DOWN closer to cassette
position for animal with difficulty breathing
DV - sternal
leg closest to table
is smaller than “up” leg
instinctive cat behavior
kneading
urine spraying
routine views for canine carpus
DPa and lateral
routine views for stifle joint
CrCa and lateral
OFD
distance from object to film
rectification
changing AC to DC
cathode
- negative end
- contains: filament and focusing cup
- reflects electron cloud
anode
- positive end
- contains: focal spot, rotating and stationary anode
heel effect
thicker part of animal under cathode end
step up transformer
increases voltage to produce X-rays
parallel dental radiograph
sensor directly behind tooth and beam perpendicular to sensor
bisecting angle
- avoid elongation and foreshortening
- plane of film and long axis of tooth
beam perpendicular to film
foreshortening
beam perpendicular to tooth
elongation
rostral maxilla
50-60 degree angle
center on incisors
lateral oblique maxilla
45-60 degree angle
near eye
lateral maxilla
straight lateral
premolars and molars
rostral mandible
60 degree angle
center on incisors
