X-rays: Typical diagnostic wavelength and photon energy range. - Answer-100ev-200 keV min. wavelength 6pm-12nm Structure and function of the x-ray tube. - Answer-A vacuum tube with an anode and a cathode. The cathode is heated and electrons are emitted, they are accelerated by a voltage difference in the tube. When the "brake" against the material of the anode, they release their high kinetic energy in the form of an x-ray. *x-ray tubes are of very low efficiency, most of the radiation i...

Non-Threshold - Any dose produces a response Thermionic Emission - Filament electrons are boiled off producing an electron cloud Bremsstrahlung - AKA Breaking Radiation. Occurs when a high speed electron from the cathode is deflected by the nucleus of a target atom Characteristic Radiation - Occurs when cathode electrons dislodge inner orbit electrons from the target atoms. Anode Heel Affect - Reduction of beam intensity due to interaction with heel of target Quality - Refers to penetrati...

Which of the following reduces the scatter radiation reaching the detectors? A. Post-patient collimation B. Pre-patient collimation C. Pre-detector collimation D. Both A & C - correct answer D. Both A & C Which of the following is the primary interaction between x-ray photons and tissue during computed tomography? A. Bremsstrahlung B. Characteristic C. Compton effect D. Coherent scatter - correct answer C The process by which electrons are produced at the cathode of a CT ...

what mag modes are available? - Answer if you have a 16" II, you can have 12,9,6, and 4.5 " Compton effect - Answer hits the outer electron, incomplete transfer of energy, electron released and a low energy xray is deflected photoelectric absorption - Answer x-ray totally absorbed by inner shell electron, x-ray overcomes binding energy and knock out the electron and an outer shell electron takes it place. When the outer electron moves to its new place, a characteristic x-ray is for...

An image that demonstrates low contrast can be caused from: 1. High mAs 2. Low kVp 3. Insufficient beam restriction correct answer: 3 only Which of the following interactions with matter reduce contrast in an x-ray image? correct answer: compton scattering What type of fracture is illustrated below? (femur bone sticking out of skin) correct answer: compound fx From anatomical position, pronating the hand will result in the palm facing ____ correct answer: posteriorly With all oth...

LRA 211 Latest Update with Verified Solutions The three fundamental particles of the atom are the proton, neutron, electron The atomic nucleus contains protons and neutrons The component of the nucleus that has a positive charge and mass is the protons The component of the nucleus that has mass but no electrical charge is the Neutron If an atom has more electrons than protons, it will Negative When an atom becomes negatively or positively charged it is usually due to a change in the number ...

_____ 1. X-ray photon passed through atom unchanged; no interaction _____ 2. Coherent scatter _____ 3. Photoelectric effect _____ 4. Compton scatter _____ 5. Bremsstrahlung radiation _____ 6. Radioactivity A. Electrons stop suddenly as they hit the anode. B. Ionization takes place when the photon ejects an outer shell electron. This results in the loss of energy for the photon and a negative charged electron. The low energy photon changes direction. C. An unstable atom releases energy...

RADON 201 Physics Final Exam Question and answers correctly solved 2023/2024 In the process of _________, all the energy is transferred to K shell electron from an incoming photon - correct answer Photoelectric ________ is independent of atomic number on a gram to gram basis - correct answer Compton interaction/effect ______ radiation is basically photons that do not change direction in its path, whereas ______ radiation is basically photons that change direction in its path due to interac...
