What is the primary purpose of filtration in x-ray imaging?
What is the primary purpose of filtration in x-ray imaging?
- To improve image quality
- To remove short-wavelength photons from the x-ray beam
- To remove long-wavelength photons from the x-ray beam (correct)
- To increase patient dose
What happens to the long-wavelength photons that are not eliminated from the x-ray beam?
What happens to the long-wavelength photons that are not eliminated from the x-ray beam?
- They are filtered by the x-ray tube
- They contribute to the x-ray image
- They are absorbed by the patient (correct)
- They are eliminated by the body
