| 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 |
