BU Dental Radiology EXAM
Exam Coverage
Exam coverage for the BU Dental Radiology Exam at Boston
University includes principles of dental radiography and imaging used
in clinical dental practice. It focuses on radiation physics, X-ray
production, radiation safety and protection (ALARA principles), types
of dental radiographs (bitewing, periapical, panoramic), and proper
positioning techniques. The exam also evaluates understanding of
image processing (digital and film), error identification, infection
control, and interpretation of normal and abnormal radiographic
findings.
Emphasis is placed on producing high-quality diagnostic images,
,minimizing radiation exposure, recognizing common pathologies, and
applying safe, effective radiographic practices in dental care. 🦷📘
Who discovered what x-rays were?
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen
,Properties of Xrays
1. X-rays are weightless package of pure energy
2. They have no electrical charge
3. They travel at the speed of light
4. They travel in straight line but diverge from a central focus
5. They have enough energy to ionize and cause biological damage
6. They can cause certain substances to fluoresce and affect
photographic film.
, In a dental x-ray tube the electrons are emitted from the what?
Cathode (-)
