Question
Answer
What is the average of kV in CT?   120-140kV  
🗑
What does using a high kV do for the life of the tube?   Reducing heat load= extending life  
🗑
What does high kV do for the patient?   Hardens the beam so that it reduces patient dose.  
🗑
How does having high kV reduce heat?   by being able to use a lower mA.  
🗑
What are some cooling systems that could be located in the gantry?   blowers, filters, or devices that perform oil-to-air heat exchange  
🗑
What is the anode made of and the atomic number?   Tungsten 74  
🗑
How do you we reduce patient dose and minimize image artifact, improving image quality?   by using a compensating filter to shape the xray beam  
🗑
What do collimators do?   restrict xray beam and reduce scatter  
🗑
What is a common filter?   Bow tie, because of its shape  
🗑
What is the range of sizes of collimators?   0.5 - 10 mm  
🗑
Describe what predictor collimation.   Located below the patient, shaped the beam after passing thru patient, before hitting the detector, commonly referred to as post patient collimation.
