xrays are a form of ____ radiation and can ___ or ___ through the human body
and produce ___ images. - (ANSWER)Electromagnetic radiation ,Penetrate or
pass, shadow-like
Xrays, also known as ___ , are a photographic image that can be seen on
Film/screen. - (ANSWER)Xrays
How are xray images produced? - (ANSWER)By directing Xray beams, invisible
straight lines traveling at constant speed and made visible by processing the
image.
How are radiographs used?? - (ANSWER)To help dentists prevent, monitor and
diagnose potential oral health care issues in a patients mouth before a major
problem occurs.
How are xrays produced? - (ANSWER)by a machine whose source is energy
through electricity. Xrays are invisible beams that travel in a straight line that can
pass through soft tissue and be absorbed by dense tissue.
How can radiation effect the body? - (ANSWER)It can effect body tissues and cells
that can carry hereditary materials for future generations
What are the most common type of xrays?diagnose: - (ANSWER)Intraoral

for National Council on Radiation Protection. Estab. recommendations for
acceptable levels of radiation exposure.
What are MPDs? - (ANSWER)Maximum permissible dose and categorized for gen
pop, occup. worker and pregnant women. represents greatest amount of
radiation exposure accepted as not producing significant harmful biological
effects.
Annual radiation dose limit for adults - (ANSWER)5 rems (0.05Sv)
How is radiation dose measured? - (ANSWER)Measures how much energy is
absorbed when something or someone is exposed to Xrays. The absorption of
energy can cause damage to a person
2 common ways radiation is measured - (ANSWER)At pt skin surface (entrance
surface air Kerma) and effective dose.
