Study Notes
Natural Background Radiation
- The source of natural background radiation is the environment, including cosmic rays, rocks, soil, and radon in the air.
Exposure to Natural Background Radiation
- The amount of exposure a person receives from natural background radiation sources is determined by factors such as geographic location, altitude, and the type of building materials used in their home.
Medical X-ray Machines
- The function of a medical x-ray machine is to produce x-rays that pass through the body, creating images of internal structures.
Conventional X-ray Radiography
- Conventional x-ray radiography produces 2D images of internal structures in shades of gray.
- In conventional x-ray radiography, x-rays are directed through the body, and the resulting shadows are captured on film or a digital detector.
