 As low as reasonably achievable  

 As low as reasonably permissible  

 As low as reasonably possible  

 As low as reasonably practical  

 Run off batteries rather than AC Mains supply.  

 Produce less soft radiation than alternating current sets  

 Produce x-rays with a single energy  

 Are typically 70kV for intra-oral dental radiographs  

 Constant Amplitude sets  

 Constant Amperage sets  

 Constant Voltage sets  

 Constant Potential sets  

 Cause more damage than hard x-rays when they interact with tissues  

 Are completely absorbed by the correct Aluminium filtration in the x-ray set  

 Do not contribute to the radiographic image  

 Will cause skin burns with dental exposures over 5 seconds  

 Exposure time  

 Kilovoltage  

 Anode Current (mA)  

 All the above  

 They will receive less radiation dose  

 They will receive the same radiation dose  

 They will receive more radiation dose

Speeding up the movement of the film cassette   

 Slowing down the movement of the film cassette  

 Reducing the kilovoltage of the set  

 Reducing the slit width of the x-ray beam  

 C speed  

 D speed    

 E speed    

 F speed    

Panorals 

 Occlusals 

 Bitewings 

 All the above 

 Turn electrons into light  

 Are coated with rare-earth elements like Radon

 Cause a fuzzier image than intra-oral radiographs  

 Reduce scatter  

 Silver Halides   

 Potassium Permanganate  

 Sodium Thiosulphate  

 All the above  

 They may become fogged if left  

 The surface emulsion may react with the intensifying screens  

 There is a risk of putting another film in without removing the previous one  

 The intensifying screen may be developed by mistake
