A collimator __________

Infection control is critical in your dental operatory because pathogens can be transmitted easily through which of the following? 1. your patient to you 2. you to your patient 3. from one patient to another patient

The test files are below.  Feel free to print a hard copy if you like.  If you need to leave the room for a minute or two to print or scan that is fine. There may be actually multiple questions in this document so don’t let the Canvas title “Question 1” confuse you. There are three questions on the test and it requires you to turn in a pdf and a dwg file for each.  Therefore you will need to upload a total of SIX files, three pdf’s and three .dwg files.  You will upload the files here using the upload link below, just like you would do if this were a homework assignment.  TEST3_Spring_2024.pdf the test instructions.  TEST3_AUX1_SPRING_2024.dwt Problem 1 Template  TEST3_AUX2_SPRING_2024.dwt Problem 2 Template CuestaTitleBlock.dwg  save this title block drawing to your Desktop, then insert it into the layout for INCHES. Please upload the “.dwg” file below for question 1:

Increased kVp [change1] the average energy of the x-ray beam, and [change2] the quantity of x-rays.

In x-ray beam spectrum graph above, the left-to-right position of the curve at point “A” would be associated with:

Why is bell-shaped x-ray beam spectrum curve “lopsided” toward the left?

An x-ray emissions spectrum that shows a slight decrease in amplitude, a slight increase in average photon energy, and no change in the maximum photon energy produced, was produced by an increase in _____________________________.

You have your patient in the chair, you have placed the receptor in your patient’s mouth, and you have positioned the position indicating device.  Which of the following should you do next to take the x-rays?

X-rays are produced by:

What determines the energy of the photon produced in a Bremsstrahlung interaction?
