is the ALARA concept
Positive - Anode
Negative-Cathode - ANS What is the positive & negavtove electrode in the x-ray tube
Film, phosphorous storage plate, digital sencor - ANS What are examples of inage receptors
•To help the dentist see conditions in the mouth not visitble to the eye - ANS •What is the purpose of
dental x-rays
▪bone loss
▪info during dental procedures (ex: root canal therapy)
▪locate abnormalities in the soft & hard tissue
▪evaluate growth & development
▪Identify early dent caries - ANS •What can a dentist see on an x-ray that he canot see with just his eyes
Film based or digitally produced recording of anatomic structures - ANS What is an IMAGE (in radiology)
,With radiation - ANS How are dental images produced
The process of recording images of the teeth & adjacent structure by exposure to x-radiation - ANS
What is dental radiography
•tubehead
•extension arm
•control panel - ANS What are the main components of an x-ray mashine
•it is a metal housing that contains the X-RAY TUBE
•it is filled with INSULATING OIL which prevents overheating (by absorbing the heat created by x-ray)
•this is where the x-rays are produced
•this is where the TRANSFORMER is located. (The transformer alters the voltage) - ANS Describe the
tubehead & it's function
•It is an open ended lead-line cylinder that extends from the opening of the metal housing (metal
housing=tubehead) - ANS Describe the PID & it's function
•LEAD COLLIMATOR - small metal disc with small opening in the center (it form the size and shape of the
x-ray beam as it leaves the tubehead & goes to the PID)

the 2 things in the PID that shape and filter the x-ray beam
Shorter -shorter wavelengths are the MOST useful in dentistry! - ANS The _________ (shorter/longer)

, Heart of the mashine= x-ray tube (it contains the cathode (-) and anode (+) andnis vacune sealed to

ANS What is the purpose of the extention arm
Located: on wall outside x-ray area
-it contains: •MASTER SWITCH (turns mashine on/off)
•SELECTOR BUTTON (used to select exposure time in milliamperage (mA) and kilovoltage (kV))
•INDICATOR LIGHT (turns orange to show that master switch is on)
•EXPOSURE BUTTON (conteols flow of electricity to generate x-rays) - ANS Decribe the control panel &
where is it located
Yes, it is safe to leave it on all day. It does not produce ratiation unless the eposure button is being
pressed! - ANS Is it safe to leave the x-ray mashine on all day
