21 Questions
A packet of electromagnetic energy.
Photon
X-rays are created in the nucleus and Gamma rays are created at the atomic level. X-rays are usually created by accelerated electrons hitting a target, and gamma rays are emitted from radioactive nuclei.
First sentence is false; second sentence is true
It is created by electrons colliding with inner electrons in the atoms of the metal anode, giving them enough energy to leave the atom
Characteristic X-rays
Are produced from an accelerated electron bypassing the atomic electrons and coming close to a nucleus in the target.
Bremsstrahlung
What projection is used in the radiograph below?
Posteroanterior Projection
A process of reducing the number of X-ray photons in the beam
Attenuation
It maintains a vacuum so that electrons from air do not contribute to the electrons stream, which would disrupt the image production process and damage the tube.
E
Electrons are heated on this part of the X-ray tube
C
It serves to decelerate the high negatively charge electrons
