Anterior

Dorsal

Back side

Ventral

Belly Side

Proximal

Close to point of attachment or origin

TEmperature of the developer chemicals

Film developing or processing time is based on

Cassette

Film holding device

Cuts the animal into Dorsal and VEntral views

Frontal plane

Distal

Further from point of attachment

Abdomen

Medical term for the belly

Thorax

Medical term for the chest is

Darkroom mistakes

Painless, dangerous and invisible

Name 3 charachteristics of xrays

LEAD

PPE's are made of this

Scatter radiation out of the collimated area

PPE's protect you from this only

Palmar

Pad side of the front foot

Plantar

Pad side of the rear foot

The rear view of the naimal as if it is walking away from you

Posterior

hanging them up to prevent folding and bending

Protect and care for PPE's by

Primary beam in the collimated area

Protective Personal equipment does NOT protect you from this

Medial

REfers to the imaginary midline that cuts the animal into equal left and right halves

Lateral

Referring to the side of the animal or structure

Lateral

Refers to left or right Side of the animal/or part

A view or section that is perpendicular to the Midline

TRansverse plane

10 CM thick

Table top technique whereby the plate or cassette is left on the table top rather than under the table in the the cassette tray is when body thickness is less than ....

Faster

The higher the developer temperature the _____ the devloping time

Cahode

The negatively charged side of the xray tube

Anode

The postively charged part of the xray tube

Collimation

The reduction of the xray beam size or filed of exposure is called

Exposure time in seconds

The setting that desigantes the length of time the xray will be emitted from the machine

Anode and cathode

The two components that make up the xray tube

Electrons collide with a postively charged target

The xray beam is produced when

Distance, collimation, lowest possible exposure time and Lead PPE's

These 4 factors can reduce the amount of scatter radiation you are exposed to when taking xrays

Less

Thin body areas or parts require _____ power to get a proper diagnostic view.

Dosimetric film badge

This helps monitor your exposure to xrays

MA (Mililamperage)

This setting effects the mass or number of electrons in the xray beam

KVP

This setting effects the power or push of the xray beam

Cranial

Towards the head

Medial

Towards the middle or midline of the body

Caudal

Towards the tail

Calipers

Use this to measure the body area thickness to determine the radiographic settings
