OHIO GXMO STUDY GUIDE REVIEW EXAM
SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS TEST
BANK SOLVED 100% CORRECT
⩥ Attenuation. Answer: Absorption of the X-ray beam by matter
⩥ Scatter radiation. Answer: Part of the X-ray beam that scatters in
opposite direction, from the patient. Has less energy than primary beam.
Not easily controlled
⩥ Detent. Answer: Special mechanism that stops the X-ray tube in a
specific location.
⩥ Trendelenburgs position. Answer: Flat on back with head lower 15
degrees
⩥ Grid. Answer: Device that absorbs most of the scatter radiation
coming off pt, preventing it from reaching IR. Increases pt exposure.
⩥ Floating tabletop. Answer: Allows the top of X-ray table to move
independently, which makes it easier to align body part
, ⩥ Bucky. Answer: Grid and pull out tray to hold the IR plate and center
it to Central ray
⩥ Stationary grid. Answer: Grid that does not move during exposure
⩥ When to use a grid?. Answer: 10-12 cm or more in thickness or when
kVp greater than 60
⩥ Upright cassette holder *UPRIGHT BUCKY*. Answer: Hold IR in
upright position. Mounted on wall and able to be adjusted for height at
40 or 72 SID
⩥ Control console *panel*. Answer: Where the limited operator sets
exposure factors and Initiates the exposure
⩥ Transformer cabinet. Answer: Used to produce high voltage required
for X-ray production
⩥ Fundamental rad safety. Answer: The potential hazard is greater for
the limited operator than the pt because the limited operator is in
frequent daily contact
⩥ Sources of radiation. Answer: X-ray tube and any matter that is in the
path of the X-ray beam
