Question
Answer
the negative electrode (terminal) in the x-ray tube. The cathode consists of a tungsten filament wire that is set in molybdenum focusing cup that directs the cathode stream toward the target on the anode.   show
🗑
show anode  
🗑
diaphragm, usually lead, designed to restrict the dimensions of the useful beam   show
🗑
either of two terminals of tan electric source. In the x-ray tube, either the anode or the cathode.   show
🗑
show filler  
🗑
show filament  
🗑
show incandescence  
🗑
show polychromatic  
🗑
show kilovolt peak  
🗑
the release of electrons when a material such as tungsten is heated to incandescence. Electrons are boiled off from the cathode filament in the x-ray tube when electric current is passed through it.   show
🗑
show tungsten  
🗑
curved portion of the x-ray machine that is connected to the extension arm. The tube head is suspended within the yoke and can be rotated vertically and horizontally within it.   show
🗑
the unit of intensity of an electric current produced by 1 volt acting through a resistance of 1ohm.   show
🗑
a mass of free electrons that hovers around the filament wire of the cathode when it is heated to incandescence. The number of free electron increases as the miliamperage is increased.   show
🗑
show electrical circuits  
🗑
show exposure button  
🗑
small area on the target on the anode toward which the electrons from the focusing cup of the cathode are directed.   show
🗑
show quantity  
🗑
Term used when describing the intensity of the x-ray beam. Refers to the penetrating ability of the beam   show
🗑
protective metal covering that contains the x-ray tube, the high-voltage and low-voltage transformers, and insulating oil. Attached to the flexible extension arm by a yoke. The PID attaches to the tube head at the port.   show
🗑
electronic tube located in the tube head that generates x-rays   show
🗑
