Designed to supply precise Voltage to the Filament and high voltage circuits of the x-ray machine.

Most common timer used today.

This timer has complex circuitry and accurate up to one millisecond.

This timer is based off of the length of exposure time is determined by the Radiographer or by AEC.

This type of timer consists of mechanical and electronic device whose action is to make and break the high voltage across the tube.

This type of generator is designed to produce radiographic exposure in the shortest possible time by operating the x-ray tube at the highest mA setting without exceeding tube heat capacity

This equipment makes specific exposure time that cannot be set and can only be used by AEC

This allows the negative half cycle to be reversed so that a positive voltage is always directed across the tube.

When voltage is not allowed to swing negatively during the negative half cycle.

This is a step up transformer.

This equipment converts low supply voltage into kilovoltage of a proper waveform.

This transformer's secondary voltage is greater than the primary voltage because of the number of windings is greater in the secondary side than the primary.

This equipment supplies voltage to the x-ray unit and can vary as much as 5%

Measurement of tube current and number of electrons crossing from cathode to anode per second.

This timer utilizes the uncoiling of a spring as a timing device.

This equipment allows radiographers to control the x-ray tube current and voltage so the x-ray beam contains proper quality and quantity.

Describes kVp and penetrability.

Describes mAs and Intensity

The process of converting AC to DC.

Produces a waveform resulting in a pulsating x-ray beam caused by an alternate swinging in voltage from 0 to maximum potential.

This timer uses electronic synchronous motor to drive a shaft at 60rpm therefore shortest exposure time is 1/60

Utilizes x-radiation for treatment of disease.

What helps in the conversion of AC in transformers into DC so that x-ray tubes can operate.

What are common materials used for the surface of tables? (Choose 3)

Tilting table, footboard, shoulder support, hand grips, and compression bands are examples of?

Three principle parts for Diagnostic Medical X-Ray Units include:

On/off switch, mAs selection, kVp selection, exposure switch, table/wall unit activation, collimator, and AEC control can all be found on the Operating Console

Which of these component is used to supply precise voltage to the different filament and high voltage circuits?

Which of these component is used to convert low supply voltage into kilovoltage of proper waveform.

Turns Ratio is usually between:

kVp determines the penetrating ____ of x-rays.

kVp meter is placed across output terminals of _________ so it reads _______ not kilovoltage.

This part of the x-ray system where tube current is controlled by the filament circuit

Voltage from the autotransformer is reduced by ____ _____ to a value corresponding to a selected mA station.

Voltage from mA selector is delivered to __________ _________ therefore voltage is reduced and current increased.

____________ _____ is when current can flow from anode to cathode during the negative half cycle.

When voltage is not allowed to swing negatively during the negative half cycle.

Negative half cycle is reversed so that positive voltage is always directed across the tube.

Negative half cycle is ___________ so that the ______________ voltage is always directed across the tube.

Produces nearly a constant potential voltage waveform which results in an improved image quality and lower pt dose.

Falling load generators are designed to produce radiographic exposure in the _________ amount of time.

This specific equipment has specific exposure time and cannot be set and can only be used with AEC.
