FUNDAMENTALS OF RADIOLOGY
Cards (50)
- “science of radiation and, specifically, the use of both ionizing and non-ionizing modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of disease”
- “The branch of medicine dealing with diagnosis and therapy through x-rays”
- discovered the x-ray on November 8, 1895
- Closer movement of the fluorescent plate to the tube, stronger glow (and vice-versa)
- When placing various objects in the path if the x-ray beam, images of these were seen on the screen
- First medical and industrial uses of x-radiation were demonstrated
- Highly exhausted vacuum tubes with an anode and cathode, an electric current passing through
- Roentgen presented
- Amount of Roentgen exposure
- (January 1896)
- wrapped in black paper and covered with rubber
- got a clearer image, 9 minutes of exposure (February 1896)
- science of imaging using x- radiation
- amount of x-ray exposure
- duplicated Roentgen’s work
- 1 of his assistants was the first person to die because of repeated radiation experiments
- Discontinued work on radiation
- credited with taking the first intraoral radiographs in the US (April 1896)
- started procuring electrical equipment within a year
- Gave first demonstration to the Southern Dental Society
- Developed first dental x-ray unit (1896)
- Recommended lead shielding of the tube and the patient
- Was one of the first to use and lecture about the new Kodak film
- The first to introduce radiology into the dental school curriculum
- Credited with publishing the first dental radiology textbook
- Invented the hot-cathode x-ray tube (prototype of modern tubes)
- Manufactured the first american dental x-ray machine in 1923
- Anything that has mass and occupies space
- Made of molecules
- property
- make up molecules
- Has required number of protons for that element, but with a different number of neutrons
- Same atomic number, but different atomic MASS number
- Travel in shells
