voltage ripple   Voltage ripple is the variation in the output voltage waveform of an X-ray generator. It's expressed as a percentage, calculated as (Vmax - Vmin) / Vmax * 100%, where Vmax is the maximum voltage and Vmin is the minimum voltage during a cycle  
🗑
how voltage ripple affects xrays   affects the energy and intensity of the X-ray beam. Lower voltage values during the cycle produce lower energy X-rays, some of which may be absorbed by the patient or have little diagnostic value  
🗑
Single-phase:   These generators have the highest ripple (100%), as their output voltage fluctuates between the peak voltage and zero  
🗑
Three-phase   Three-phase generators (6-pulse and 12-pulse) have lower ripple (around 13% and 4%, respectively) due to their smoother waveform  
🗑
High-frequency generators   These generators use inverters to produce a nearly constant DC waveform, minimizing ripple to less than 1%
