Chapter 7 Study Questions

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show 1%  
🗑
show Heat,thermal,or infrared  
🗑
Describe a bremsstrahlung target interaction.   show
🗑
show An incident electron interacts with an inner shell electron, knocking out the inner shell electron and continuing in a slightly different direction, which creates a hole in the inner shell, making the shell unstable.  
🗑
What is a characteristic cascade?   show
🗑
What is the average keV of the primary beam as compared to the kVp?   show
🗑
show When mAs is changed the result is a change in the amplitude of the emission graph.  
🗑
What effect does changing kVp have on the total x-ray emission spectrum?   show
🗑
Characteristic Peak   show
🗑
Incident Electrons   show
🗑
show The actions that take place when the electrons strike their target or focal spot.  
🗑
How are x-ray photons produced?   show
🗑
show x-rays are man made; gamma rays are products of nuclear radioactive decay.  
🗑
show Almost the speed of light.  
🗑
How far is the anode from the cathode?   show
🗑
show solid arrow  
🗑
show wave arrow  
🗑
show energy  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   show
🗑
show Process in which e- in an atom are moved to a higher energy state without actually being removed from the atom; produces heat  
🗑
Ionization   show
🗑
What are other some names for incident electrons?   show
🗑
What is infrared radiation?   show
🗑
show Within .25 to .5 mm of the target surface.  
🗑
What are the 3 possible products of target interaction?   show
🗑
show The quantity of e- available at the cathode.  
🗑
What does kVp control?   show
🗑
show --1.high Z#--2.high melting point--3.similar e- binding energies  
🗑
Bremsstrahlung is German for what?   show
🗑
Within the diagnostic x-ray range, most photons are produced by what?   show
🗑
show the K-shell  
🗑
show 1000+  
🗑
show quantity  
🗑
How would you increase e- kinetic energy?   show
🗑
When e- kinetic energy is increased, what 2 things are also increased?   show
🗑
show to provide a large number of e- with high kinetic energy focused to a small spot on the anode  
🗑
The e- traveling from the cathode to the anode constitute what?   show
🗑
show kinetic energy  
🗑
What might a projectile e- interact with?   show
🗑
show X-rays produced when a projectioe e- is slowed and its direction is changed by the electric field of a target atom  
🗑
show when an outer-shell e- fills an inner-shell void  
🗑
show tungsten  
🗑
Characteristic photons will not compose any of the useful beam until kVp is what? Why?   show
🗑
What type of spectrum contains only specific values?   show
🗑
What type of spectrum contains all possible values with the photons ranging from zero to some maximum value?   show
🗑
show Characteristic x-rays  
🗑
All ranges of energies are representative of what type of photon?   show
🗑
show amplitude (total # of x-rays emitted)  
🗑
show the higher the effective energy or quality of the x-ray beam.  
🗑
Between 80 and 100 kVp you can expect the primary beam to be produced by what types and percentages of x-rays?   show
🗑
show 70  
🗑
At < 70kVp you can expect what type of target interaction?   show
🗑
show --1.higher amplitude--2.increased #of photons--3.increase in high energy photons  
🗑
show brems and characteristic.  
🗑
show The exact difference between the entering and exiting kinetic energy of the e-.  
🗑
How do you determine the energy of a characteristic x-ray?   show
🗑
What does "all or nothing" refer to?   show
🗑
As the electron gets closer to the nucleus in brems, what occurs?   show
🗑
