Study Notes
Radiograph Image Characteristics
- A radiograph exposed to 70 kVp, 100 mA, 100 ms from a full wave 3 phase x-ray unit is expected to have a certain image appearance.
X-ray Beam Energy
- Increasing the kVp will serve to increase the effective energy of the x-ray beam.
- Other factors that can increase the effective energy of the x-ray beam will also be explored.
Spinning Top Test
- Visualizing 8 dots (dashes) on a finished film during a spinning top test at 200 mA, 0.05 s, and 70 kVp indicates a specific outcome.
Quality Control (QC) Tests
- Comparing the mR output at 50 mA @ 0.2 s, 100 mA @ 0.1 s, and 200 mA @ 0.05 s while increasing the mAs using different mA and time combinations is part of a QC test.
X-ray Circuit Components
- A step-down transformer is located in the x-ray circuit.
Transformer Calculations
- If a high-voltage transformer has 100 primary turns and 35,000 secondary turns, and is supplied by 220 V and 75 A, the voltage across the secondary coil is 15,750 V.
