RAD 110: Exam 1 Overview

Why join the ASRT?

Longitudinal plane that divides body into anterior and posterior parts

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

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

Which modality does not use ionizing radiation?

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

An RT is with you during the entire exam

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

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

When was x-ray discovered?

What are characteristics of professional critical thinking?

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

Means to angle the CR toward the head end.

Closer to the point of attachment

The occupational radiation dose limit for Rad Tech is

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

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

Misrepresentation of an object size or shape

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

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

Allows x-rays to pass through easily

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

The visible difference (variation) between adjacent densities.

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

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

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

The legal doctrine respondeat superior relates to which of the following?

A calling that requires specialized knowledge and intensive academic preparation

Lying down in any position

Do you know about Informed Consent?

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

Means to angle the CR away from the head end.

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

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

Immobilizing a patient without consent is

Farther from the point of attachment

Distance between the patient and image receptor (IR)

X-ray beam prior to reaching the patient

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

Who provides accreditation to RCHC Rad Tech program?

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

When performing a comp what is expected?

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

Fluoro can be used with digital imaging to take images.

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

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

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

Legally, all images must include what?

What is our professional title?

The part of the beam that passes through the patient

Time, Distance, and Shielding are what…

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

Not easy for x-rays to penetrate and pass through

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

When may comp exams be completed in clinic?

Longitudinal plane that divides the body into right and left parts

What organization tests and certifies individuals in Radiography?

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

What are the responsibilities of a radiology manager?

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

Competency exam questions may be asked by who?

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

Component of the radiographic system that produces the x-rays

Who discovered x-ray?

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

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

What is the SI unit of radiation absorbed dose?

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

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

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

ALARA means….

Comp exams may be performed by you under supervision of…

Disclosing confidential information to unauthorized individuals is a/an

Which of these external regulating agencies might we encounter?

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

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

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

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