Questions and Answers

What is the main advantage of using high-frequency generators in CT scanners?

  • They require less maintenance than conventional generators
  • They are more cost-effective than conventional generators
  • They produce x-rays at a more consistent potential (correct)
  • They are larger and provide more power

    • How does a high-frequency generator differ from a conventional generator in terms of efficiency?

  • High-frequency generators have a higher voltage ripple
  • High-frequency generators are more efficient (correct)
  • Conventional generators produce x-rays faster
  • High-frequency generators are less efficient

    • Where is the high-frequency generator typically located in a CT scanner?

  • Mounted on the ceiling of the room
  • Outside the building
  • Inside the control room
  • Inside the CT gantry (correct)
