Exam 15: Additional Equipment

This type of radiographic unit is very lightweight and produces a consistent radiation output.

In that the exposure time for a linear tomographic image is long,the mA must be

Linear tomography is seldom used because the cost of making an x-ray unit have tomographic capabilities is prohibitive.

Breast compression

As compared with standard radiography,patient exposure during tomographic procedures is

This type of dedicated unit is typically used to image the mandible and teeth

The image of a mandible taken with a panorex unit and one taken with standard radiographic equipment have very similar appearances.

During a DXA scan,the anatomy is scanned twice,each time with

Which of the following mobile radiographic units does not need to be plugged into the wall while producing x-rays?

The radiographer should stand at least _________ away from the patient and x-ray tube when making an exposure using mobile radiographic equipment

The mammography unit's x-ray tube window is made of beryllium.

When operating mobile C-arm fluoroscopic equipment,it is the _____________ responsibility to monitor and apply radiation safety measures.

To produce a thin tomographic section,there needs to be a

Linear tomography is used to overcome the limitation that some anatomic areas are difficult to see because they are superimposed by other structures.

DXA stands for
