“Radiaction is a natural fit for a partnership with Cassling,” said Elizabeth Grieger, VP of Growth and Innovation at Cassling. Radiaction provides an unparalleled level of protection to physicians and staff while allowing unencumbered patient care, access and service. The Radiaction system is the first and only advanced technology to proactively block radiation at the source, providing comprehensive, head-to-toe radiation protection to the entire interventional team. To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.OMAHA, Neb.-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Cassling announced today it is a new strategic sales agent in various geographic territories across the United States for Radiaction Medical, the makers of a novel, FDA-cleared advanced radiation blocking technology.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows: If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box. When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click 'retry' to try those cards again. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Use these flashcards to help memorize information. What are positive beam-limiting collimators (PBL)Īutomatic collimators that sense the size of the image receptor and adjust the collimating shutters to that size (Positive Beam Limitation was required until 1994) X ray field is illuminated and it can be adjusted to infinite sizes. What are two advantages of collimators over other types of beam-restrictors Which of the three types of beam restrictors is best Skull, spine and dental radiography, cholecystography, mammography What are some applications of cones/cylinders in radiography What are the disadvantages of using cones/cylindersĭifficulty in alignment and fixed field size What are the two major types of cones used in radiography X ray head units, dedicated chest radiography, and dental units.

What are three applications for aperture diaphragms What is the principle disadvantage of the aperture diaphragm Which type of beam-restricting device is the simplestĪperture diaphragm (it is the simplest in design and application.)

What are the three basic types of beam-restricting devicesĪperture diaphragms, cones/cylinders, and collimators. (This also results in less patient dose.) How does restricting the X ray beam decrease the amount of scatter reaching the filmĪs the beam is restricted, fewer primary photons are emitted from the tube and collimator and fewer photons are created. It impairs image quality by placing density on the film which is unrelated to patient anatomy.Ī device that controls the size and shape of the primary beam. How does scatter affect the radiographic image

What is the primary source of scatter radiation How does compression affect patient dose and image contrastĬompression reduces patient dose and increases contrast. How can the reduction of scatter radiation reaching the film be accomplishedīy using collimators, grids, and compression. How does increased anatomic part thickness affect scatter radiationĪs anatomic part thickness increases, scatter radiation increases. How does field size affect the level of scatter radiationĪs field size is decreased, scatter decreases. How does an increase in kVp affect scatter radiation

Those that pass through the patient without interacting and those that are scattered in the patient through Compton interaction. Which two kinds of x rays are responsible for optical density on a radiograph Increased kvp, increased x ray field size, and increased anatomic part thickness What three factors contribute to an increase in scatter radiation Scatter radiation caseys summer class Question
