Question
Answer
Tungsten is used to coat the anode disc because it   has a high atomic number.  
🗑
The best situation for less heat production and a quality image is to have a:   large actual focal spot and small effective focal spot.  
🗑
The advantage to using a larger actual focal spot is   higher exposures can be used.  
🗑
With a rotating anode, the focal spot becomes a focal   track.  
🗑
The size of the actual focal spot depends on   the size of the cathode filament being used.  
🗑
The effective focal spot is the   origin of the x-ray beam as seen from below the tube.  
🗑
Molybdenum   is a poor thermal conductor.  
🗑
The primary advantage of a rotating anode is that it allows   greater heat capacity at the anode.  
🗑
The relationship between the actual focal spot size, effective focal spot size, and anode target angle is called   the line-focus principle.  
🗑
One of the reasons that molybdenum is used in rotating anodes is because it is   light but strong.  
🗑
Which primary exposure factor influences both the quantity an quality of x-ray photons?   kVp  
🗑
Characteristic photons are represented by a __________ emission spectrum and Bremsstrahlung is represented by a _____________ emission spectrum.   discrete; continuous  
🗑
At 100 kVp, the radiation produced is :   15% characteristic and 85% bremsstrahlung  
🗑
Total filtration in the x-ray beam includes_______.   Inherent filtration Added filtration  
🗑
Which type of target interaction is responsible for most of the x-rays in the diagnostic beam?   breamsstrahlung  
🗑
This interaction involves a cascade similar to dominos falling.   characteristic  
🗑
What percentage of the kinetic energy is converted to X-rays when moving electrons strike the anode target?   1  
🗑
According to the line focus principle, as the target angle decrease, the _________.   effective focal spot size decreases  
🗑


   

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.
