Across
- 5. duplicating films are used only in a _______ and is not exposed to x-radiation
- 9. Thin, transparent coating which is placed over the emulsion. It protects the emulsion from manipulation
- 10. these screens intensify the effect of x-rays on the film, and less radiation is required. A smooth plastic sheet coated with tiny fluorescent crystals
- 12. BW's used to examine the maxillary crown on a single film. Useful in diagnosing interproximal caries and bone level
- 17. Absorb radiation during x-ray exposure and store energy from the radiation
- 19. Unexposed and unprocessed film must be stored in a cool, _____ place (50-70 degrees F)
- 21. "end of a tooth"
- 23. means existing but not yet developed; hidden, concealed; something present but not yet visible
- 24. The stored energy within the silver halide crystals form a pattern and creates an invisible image on the emulsion. It remains invisible until the film is processed
- 25. Provides support for the emulsion and strength. Can withstand heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. Transparent exhibiting a slight blue tint which is necessary for image quality (think about the color of the film in Rad Lab)
- 28. are used to examine the teeth and supporting structures
- 29. Found behind the film shielding the film from scatter radiation which results in film fog
- 30. Produces identical copy of either an intraoral or extraoral radiograph used to send to insurance companies, referrals to specialists and for teaching aids.
- 33. A coating attached to both sides of the film base by the adhesive layer. Allows for greater film sensitivity to x-radiation
- 34. a client's mouth ______ should be considered when choosing a film size
- 35. which film choice is best used to determine delayed eruption in a child who has mixed dentition (ages 6-12)?
- 36. Evenly suspends silver halide crystals over the film base. Absorbs processing solutions allowing for the chemicals to react with crystals
- 38. Used to hold extraoral films and intensifying screens
- 39. the larger the crystals the ______ the film speed
- 40. Require a screen for exposure. Placed between two special intensifying screen in a cassette. Less radiation is required to expose the film
Down
- 1. Do not require intensifying screens for exposure. Exposed directly to x-rays. The emulsion on the film is sensitive to x-ray exposure rather than fluorescent light
- 2. A small bump found on the corner of the plastic film packet which aids in the identification of the patient’s right and left side; used for correct mounting
- 3. chemical compound sensitive to radiation or light
- 4. Has a flap used to open the film packet to remove the film before processing. Must always face the patients tongue
- 6. A thin layer of adhesive material covering both sides of the film base. Its like the glue for the emulsion
- 7. Amount of radiation required to produce a radiograph. Determines how much radiation and exposure time is necessary to produce an image on a film. Determined by: size of silver halide crystals, thickness of the emulsion and radiosensitive dyes
- 8. Found behind the film shielding the film from scatter radiation which results in film fog
- 11. Solid white and has identification dot (ID). - Must always face the teeth and x-ray tubehead.
- 13. "around"
- 14. classified as the standard film size which is generally used for posterior PA exposures on adult dentition
- 15. used in anterior BW
- 16. the larger the crystals the ______ the film speed
- 18. Something that responds to a stimulus
- 20. the (___same word__) the number, the (___same word__) the size of the film
- 22. a fast speed film requires _________ radiation exposure
- 26. Emulsion found on both sides of the film packet. May contain one film or two films (two for duplication)
- 27. Surrounds the film and helps protect the film from the light
- 29. Largest intraoral film. Used to examine the maxillary and mandibular arch
- 31. ______ storage containers prevent film-fogging
- 32. film size used when taking a BW of posteriors in adults when 8's are present
- 37. Refers to a picture of an object (tooth)
