24
Q

________ and a ______ are also part of the collimator to project a pattern of visible light accurately demonstrating the area which will be irradiated

A
  1. light source

2. mirror

25
central ray is defined as a ?
imaginary photon right in the middle of the xray beam
26
knife light tells us the what about the central ray?
level of the central ray
27
3 key exposure variables
time tube current tube potential
28
line compensation
correction of in out of voltage to machine
29
most xrays are taken between
60 - 100 kev
30
autotransformer is made of
one set of windings
31
high voltage transformers change
Volts --> kilovolts
32
x ray housing reduces
the spread of radiation throughout by limiting radiation emission from the tube
33
x-rays leave the housing through a
port
34
glass may become
electroplated
35
the envelope is made up of
glass
36
cathode is known as an
e- emitter
37
what are the 2 parts of the cathode
filament and focusing cup
38
focusing cup does what
focuses the e- to a single point
39
thermionic emission
tungsten wire will emit e- when heated by passage of a low amperage current
40
filament =
thoriated tungsten wire coil
41
anode side is the electrode ethat is
positive side of tube
42
greater the charge impacts force how?
greater the force of the e-
43
rotor is the portion that
rotates and is made up of copper and molybdenum
44
focal spot
limited area of target receives e- at any given spot
45
larger filament =
larger focal spot
46
smaller filament =
smaller focal spot
47
the effective focal spot size is _____ than actual focal spot size
less
48
actual size of focal spot is going to appear
smaller than it actually is
49
actual focal spot size
area struck by e- at any given instance during exposure
50
smaller focal size/smaller filament increases
resolution
51
magnitude of induced current depends on
- Strength of magnetic field - Velocity magnetic field moving past conductor - Angle of conductor to magnetic field - Number of turns in the conductor
52
in a transformer the primary coil is connected to what and creates what?
connected to an AC source creating an expanding and collapsing electromagnetic field.
53
what happens in the primary coil vs secondary coil?
primary coil: creates a expanding/collapsing electromagnetic field. Secondary creates: induced current
