Diagnostic Imaging
Across
- 3. the object of interest is raised or anatomically positioned above the image receptor
- 4. developed to absorb scattered and secondary radiation
- 5. foreshortening or elongation of a body part due to angulation of the body part,x-ray receptor, or x-ray tube
- 9. the portion of the x-ray image that is sharp and clearly collimated
- 12. smallest quantity of any type of electromagnetic radiation
- 13. Frequency Lower wavelengths
- 14. the outside edge or shadow where the film has been imperfectly collimated
- 17. what distance is used for x-ray tube's focal spot to image receptor
- 18. Radiation radiation that is created by the photon stream outside the actual focal spot
- 20. Frequency higher wavelengths
- 21. miliampridge per second
Down
- 1. Rule uses thickness of area to be radiographed to calculate the kVp necessary to penetrate the tissue
- 2. the number of waves passing a given point per given unit of time
- 6. transmit light evenly through a specially produced glass in order to visualize and interpret radiographic images
- 7. typically has two filaments
- 8. film distance what term is used for distance from x-ray tube's focal spot to image receptor
- 10. scale of contrast
- 11. wave the tracing of the crests and troughs of a wave
- 15. smallest quantity of an element
- 16. filtration to eliminate scattered radiation on the image
- 19. partners to the cathode in the x-ray tube
