Imaging Equipment I

QuestionAnswer
single phase waveform (lowest power rating 100% ripple
three phase, 6 pulse 14% ripple
three phase, twelve pulse (higher efficiency and power) 4%
operating console allows adjustments for exposure factors
kVp determines beam energy (penetration) quality
mA determines tube current (quantity/ intensity)
timer controls exposure duration
line voltage compensator corrects fluctuations in incoming power(keeps voltage constant)
high voltage generator converts low voltage (from autotransformer) into high voltage required for x-ray production
control console include autotransformer, exposure timers, mA, and kVp
high voltage section include step up transformer, and rectifiers
filament circuit controls thermionic emission(heating of the filament)
autotransformer function-select kVp, location- control console
step-up transformer function- increases voltage to kilovoltage levels, location high voltage section
rectifiers function-convert AC to DC, location- high voltage section
step down transformer function- lowers voltage for filament heating, location- filament circuit
radiation quantity intensity
radiation quality penetrability

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.
