Across
  1. 2. reducing radiation exposure 1: lead gowns, gloves, and thyroid shields
  2. 3. reducing radiation exposure 3: this should be decreased as low as possible
  3. 5. tissues that reflect few, if any, echoes
  4. 7. tissues that are the same echotexture as the surrounding tissue
  5. 12. reducing radiation exposure 2: this should be increased as much as possible
  6. 13. a component of the x-ray tube that produces x-rays when hit with electrons
  7. 14. image produced when x-rays pass through tissues onto a cassette
  8. 16. the stream of x-rays which emerge from the tube window and are utilized in radiographing the patient
  9. 17. the number of x-rays produced based on the time electrons are allowed to travel from the cathode to the anode
  10. 18. tissues that reflect fewer echoes
Down
  1. 1. intensity of reflected echoes
  2. 4. should include the clinic name, date, owner's name, address, patient's name, and patient data
  3. 6. secondary radiation produced by x-rays which have changed direction after collision with objects in its path
  4. 8. tissues that reflect very bright white echoes
  5. 9. radiation that comes out of the tube housing and not the primary beam
  6. 10. a form of electromagnetic radiation
  7. 11. the maximum voltage applied across an x-ray tube that determines the energy of the electrons produced
  8. 12. device used to monitor radiation exposure to personnel
  9. 15. the absorbed dose
  10. 19. a component of the x-ray tube that generates electrons when heated
