RAD 111 Intro to Rad

What is the SI unit of radiation absorbed dose?

A calling that requires specialized knowledge and intensive academic preparation

An RT is with you during the entire exam

CR enters at an anterior surface and exits at the posterior surface

Specific oblique position in which the Lt or Rt posterior aspect of the body is closest to IR

What organization tests and certifies individuals in Radiography?

Misrepresentation of an object size or shape

What modality specializes in use of x-rays to create images of GI, Thorax, Abdomen, & Skeleton?

When performing a comp what is expected?

CR enters at a posterior surface and exits at the anterior surface

During a fluoro exam the x-ray beam comes from…

Which modality does not use ionizing radiation?

What uses x-ray to visualize the function of a system?

Allows x-rays to pass through easily

What are characteristics of professional critical thinking?

X-ray beam that interacts with the patient and then scatters

Longitudinal plane that divides the body into equal right and left parts

The overall darkness (blackness) of the image or the amount of light that can shine through

Who discovered x-ray?

Comp exams may be performed by you under supervision of…

Why is it important to take a history on a patient?

Positive end (no free electrons); contains the target to stop electrons

Why join the ASRT?

Who is responsible for managing the daily operations of a hospital?

Farther from the point of attachment

When may comp exams be completed in clinic?

Which of these external regulating agencies might we encounter?

When was x-ray discovered?

Energy that is transmitted by waves through space or through a medium

Longitudinal plane that divides body into anterior and posterior parts

Any unlawful touching of another that is without justification or excuse is

A device designed to permit primary radiation to pass while reducing scatter

How can you overcome superimposition of a patients anatomy on an image?

Every human being of adult years & sound mind has a right to determine what is done to him/her.

The visible difference (variation) between adjacent densities.

The x-ray tube component that stops the stream of electrons & produces the x-ray beam

What are the responsibilities of a radiology manager?

ALARA means….

Immobilizing a patient without consent is

Means to angle the CR away from the head end.

The component that controls the size & shape of the x-ray beam

Which of the following radiation monitoring devices is used by us?

Lead apron, lead glasses, and thyroid shields are examples of what?

Specific oblique position in which the Lt or Rt anterior aspect of the body is closest to IR

Defines the purpose of a hospital's existence & provides guidance in its community service...

Closer to the point of attachment

Passed to improve efficiency & effectiveness of health information to provide privacy

Which org. represents the interests of the rad tech to the public and federal government?

Legally, all images must include what?

Negative end of x-ray tube; contains the filament.

Do you know about Informed Consent?

What is a creative action base on professional knowledge and experience?

Process by which primary radiation is changed (partially absorbed or scattered)

Who provides accreditation to RCHC Rad Tech program?

Component of the radiographic system that produces the x-rays

Distance between point of x-ray exiting tube and image receptor (IR)

Lying down in any position

Competency exam questions may be asked by who?

Limiting the beam – results in reduced patient dose, less scatter, and better detail

Fluoro can be used with digital imaging to take images.

Any willful attempt or threat to inflict injury on the person is

What uses x-ray to make a real time dynamic (action) images rather than a static image?

Time, Distance, and Shielding are what…

Not easy for x-rays to penetrate and pass through

Distance between the patient and image receptor (IR)

Longitudinal plane that divides the body into right and left parts

What is the source of electrons in the x-ray tube?

Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, thus acquiring a net charge

The occupational radiation dose limit for Rad Tech is

An RT is not with you during the entire exam but is immediately available

Theory that patients have the right to decide what will or will not be done to them

During a fluoro exam your dosimeter is worn under your lead at collar level.

Means to angle the CR toward the head end.

The part of the beam that passes through the patient

X-ray beam prior to reaching the patient

Disclosing confidential information to unauthorized individuals is a/an
