1is a combination setting selected on the control panel of the x-ray imaging system to produce a quality image on the radiograph
radiographic technique
2is the systematic procedure used to produce high quality radiograph
technique
3systematic procedure that includes the ability to select appropriate factors to produce an x-ray beam that will be adequately penetrate the body part and provide the appropriate leve of blackening amd subject contrast on the radiograph
technique
4technical factors
kilovoltage
milliamperage
exposure time
distance
5force applied to accelerate the electrons from the cathode to the anode at the time of exposure
kilovoltage
6it affects the speed at which the electron travel from the cathode to the anode in force behind the steam of exposure
kilovoltage
7the highest energy that the electron possesses during exposure
kvp peak
8it determines the penetrability capability of photons
kvp
9radiation emanating from the diagnostic source assembly
radiation from the xray tube
leakage radiation
10Radiation that spreads out in different directions from a radiation beam when the beam interacts with a substance, such as body tissue.
reflected radiation
scatter radiation
11the radiation that will exit or penetrate the patient and will go straight to the image receptor
remnant radiation
12once the useful beam interacts with the tissue, it will result either..
attenuation
reflection
absorption
