Calipers

A circular plate that receives electrons from the cathode and projects x-rays out.

Structures that are defense and resist the passage of x-ray.

Heart and lungs.

Quicker image, fewer retakes, can adjust contrast

Semiannually

Receives electrons from the cathode and then produces x-rays.

Structures that are less dense and permit the x-ray beam to press through them.

liver, stomach, intestines, kidney, bladder, spleen, pancreas

Time-consuming, with a large margin for error, if contrast or density is off.

A procedure used in medicine to look inside the body

Metal element with a very high melting point

Milliamperage

Cervical, thoratic, lumbar, sacral, caudal

Hospital name, address and phone number, radiograph number, client name or account number, patients name, date, and radiograph number

A type of imaging test to examine the internal organs using very high-frequency sound waves.

A heated filament (like inside a light bulb) excites electrons and pushes them out.

Milliamperage per second

Yes

Yes, By law they all must maintain a radiology log.

Rotar and stator

Set of electric coils that produce a very strong magnetic field outside of the glass envelope that in "pulls along" the copper rotar.

KvP and mAs

Shoulders, knees, paws, and toes

Allows checking the collimator light to see if it's aligned and correctly over the cassette.
