Unit 1
Across
- 2. Energy Transfer All types of radiation have the ability to penetrate tissue and transfer energy
- 4. Length of the space between two points and helps prevent unnecessary radiation
- 7. A negatively charged electrode within the X-ray tube
- 8. Device that is used to measure X-ray exposure
- 10. dose Measures the amount of radiation absorbed per unit mass of matter (gray "Gy")
- 11. The smallest particle of substance, arranged in the periodic table
- 12. The smallest quantity of any type of electromagnetic radiation
- 14. A material (concrete or lead) which absorbs radiation or prevents the transmission of radiation to the wearer
- 15. The smallest particle of an element
- 19. The number of waves passing a given point per given unit of time
- 22. Exposure refers to two different occurrences, Exposure Rate and Exposure Time
- 24. effect Occur by chance and my occur without a threshold level of dose. Late term effects.
- 25. Negative charge in the atom
- 28. The distance between two successive crests or troughs
- 29. Emission The process of heat supplied to the cathode resulting in electrons energized off the cathode filament
Down
- 1. decay Process when an atom spontaneously emits particles and energy due to being unstable
- 3. No charge in the atom
- 4. equivalent Measured by the dosimeter worn by personnel exposed to radiographs (Sievert "Sy")
- 5. Any substance that has mass and takes up space
- 6. A positively charged electrode within the X-ray tube
- 9. The study of radiographic images of any and all imaging disciplines
- 13. Used to hold film for film X-rays
- 16. Two filaments that are large and small are made of this metal
- 17. Spectrum Two types of energy used in X-ray are Electrical energy and electromagnetism
- 18. Heel Effect Has a greater intensity on the side of the cathode and diminishing toward the anode side
- 20. Anode Method of dissipating heat in general purpose X-ray tubes which must be capable of producing high intensity X-ray beams in a short time
- 21. radiation Dose measured by the service personnel calibrating the X-ray unit (air kerma "Gya)
- 23. The unit used to measure tube current (mA)
- 26. effect Noticeable short term effects due to, rarely, from diagnostic imaging setting
- 27. Positives charge in the atom
