Across
- 3. tungsten target where the electrons hit
- 5. X-ray beam missed part of the film
- 9. The radiation formed when the primary x-rays strike the patient
- 10. dental film that has the highest speed for the greatest reduction in radiation exposure for the patient
- 16. x-ray taken from inside pt's mouth
- 19. easier for staff
- 20. safelight color
- 21. The central beam that comes from the x-ray tube head
- 23. placing the dot towards the operator
- 24. The form of radiation that escapes in all directions from the tube head
- 26. Caused by too much angulation
- 27. amount or quantity of radiation
- 28. shows entire tooth and surrounding tissues
- 29. computed Tomography
- 31. dark film image
