---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bremssthralung | An e- undergoes rapid deceleration and deflection as it nears the vicinity of an atoms nucleus.
🗑
|
||||
Characteristic Radiation | Outer orbital electron or free electrons fill in inner orbital shell vacancy
🗑
|
||||
Filtration | Process by which low energy photons are absorbed.
*Hardening the Beam and decrease skin dose
🗑
|
||||
Photon Energy | Energy of e- in tube expressed as voltage applied to x-ray tube
🗑
|
||||
Attenuation | The reduction in the number of primary photons in the x-ray beam through absorption and scatter.
🗑
|
||||
Half Value Layer (HVL) | This is that amount of absorber that, if place in the path of the beam, will reduce the initial intensity by half, if measured at the same DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
🗑
|
||||
Lambert Beer Law | If = Ii e^ -μx
🗑
|
||||
Exit (Image formation) Photons | Photons emerging from medium and strike radiographic image receptor
🗑
|
||||
Coherent Scatter | Atom/electrons react to electromagnetic waves: absorbs energy, which “excites” atom
🗑
|
||||
Photoelectric Effect is a relationship of | As Z increases, PE interaction
Increase’s due to Z^3/ E^3
* If we ↓ Energy of incident photon and ↑ Z, the probability of PE interaction ↑
🗑
|
||||
Compton Interaction | Photon energy is transferred to a “Free” or “Loosely Bound” outer orbital electron
🗑
|
||||
Pair Production | *They have on charge and no mass
*Energy needed is 1.02Kev ↑
🗑
|
||||
Photodisintegration | Need energy of 7-10 MeV
🗑
|
||||
Coherent Scattering is sometimes called? | Classical, elastic, & unmodified scatttering
🗑
|
||||
Coherent Scattering typically happen at what energies? | Low energy photons less than 30keV
🗑
|
||||
Compton Scattering is also known as? | Incoherent, inelastic, & modified scattering.
🗑
|
||||
Fluorescent Yield | Refers to the number of characteristic x-rays emitted per inner shell vacancy.
🗑
|
||||
What is the effective atomic number for bone, soft tissue,& air? | *Bone 13.8 Zeff
*Soft tissue 7.4 Zeff
*Air 7.6 Zeff
🗑
|
||||
Radiographic density | The degree of overall blacking on the finished radiograph
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
