IMAGING REVIEW MATERIAL SOLUTIONS
UPDATED A+
◉ What are the movement types of synovial joints?.
Answer: Plane (gliding joints), ginglymus (hinge joints),
pivot(trochoid) joints, ellipsis (condylar) joints, Saddle (sellar)
joints, ball and socket(spheroidal) joints, bicondylar joints
◉ Body Habitus.
Answer: build, physique, and general shape of the human body
◉ What are the 4 general body styles?.
Answer: Sthenic, hyposthenic, hypersthenic, asthenic
◉ radiographic positioning.
Answer: study of patient positioning performed for radiographic
demonstration or visualization of specific body parts on image
receptors (IRs)
◉ Radiograph.
, Answer: an image of a patient's anatomic part(s) as produced by the
action of x-rays on an image receptor. If the radiograph is produced
with the use of traditional film screen (analog) technology, the image
is captured and displayed on film; if the radiograph is produced via
digital technology, the image is viewed and stored on display
monitors
◉ radiography.
Answer: The process and procedures of producing a radiograph
◉ Radiograph versus X-ray film.
Answer: In practice, the terms radiograph and x-ray film are used
interchangeably. However, x-day film specifically refers to the
physical piece of material on which a latent radiograph image is
stored. The term radiograph refers to both the recording medium
and the image
◉ Image Receptor (IR).
Answer: Device that captures the radiographic image that exits the
patient; refers to both film-screen cassettes and digital acquisition
devices
◉ Central Ray (CR).
