I like cheese pizza. Also ham.

The negatively charged part of an atom

determines quality of the radiograph

determines quantity of a radiograph

responsible for density in a radiograph

the positively charged end of the xray tube

the negatively charged end of the xray tube

rule used to optimize kvp and increase/decrease penetration

sante's rule

misrepresentation of an anatomic part by size or shape

a lack of image sharpness cause by patient movement

devise for measuring an anatomic area of interest

2 examples of the use of stationary anode

film stored in unsuitable conditions that looks dark with diminished contrast

The distance from the tube to the image receptor or cassette

waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge

when electrons inadvertently bounce beyond the focal spot, appearing as an artifact (shadow image outside actual image)

movement that reduces the visibility of details or structures on a radiograph

taking more than one view/image on a cassette

the principle that ensures xrays are directed onto the object being radiographed, and sharpens the final image

a series of thin strips placed between the patient and cassette that decreases scatter radiation and increases contrast

smallest particle of electromagnetic radiation

the type of electrification most important in radiology

this law states that the intensity of the xray beam is adversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source
