Study Notes
Natural Background Radiation
- The source of natural background radiation is from the environment, including cosmic radiation, radon in the air, and radioactive isotopes in rocks and soil.
Exposure to Natural Background Radiation
- The amount of exposure to natural background radiation is determined by factors such as altitude, latitude, and the type of rocks and soil in the area.
Conventional X-Ray Radiography
X-Ray Production
- X-rays are produced in the x-ray tube, which is a component of the x-ray machine.
Function of Conventional X-Ray Radiography
- The function of conventional x-ray radiography is to produce images of internal structures in the body, such as bones and soft tissues, using x-rays.
Purpose of X-Ray Machine in Medical Settings
- The purpose of the x-ray machine in medical settings is to aid in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions by producing images of internal structures.
