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