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