RAD 121 Vocabulary

Unit 2 words/concepts

QuestionAnswer
Explain coherent scatter also called classical, Thomson, Rayleigh or UNMODIFIED low energy (10-20keV) xrays interact with tissues and are absorbed, exciting the atom which then releases the energy in a different direction NO IONIZATION
Explain Compton scatter also called UNMODIFIED scatter occurs throughout the diagnostic range (20-125keV) incident XR interacts with outer orbital electron, ejecting it (recoil electron). The incident photon loses up to 1/3 energy and deflects in a different direction
What 3 things occur with Compton scatter *causes IONIZATION *Recoil electron goes on to have its own interactions *Incident photon is deflected in a new direction
What is fog?
What is noise?
Which interactions are dominant with higher kVp? Compton interactions
Which interaction gives tech/MD their occupational dose? Unmodified Compton
Explain photoelectric event. XR = > orbital shell binding energy occur throughout diagnostic range/involve INNER shell orbital electrons incident photon ejects inner orbit electron, incident photon is completely absorbed, causes a cascade, emitting secondary radiation

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
