Study Notes
High Frequency Generator
- High-frequency generators power x-ray tubes.
- Used for x-rays because they operate on single-phase, reducing voltage ripples.
Collimator
- A device that minimizes the field of view.
- Uses lead shutters to restrict the x-ray beam.
- Attached to the x-ray tube below the glass window, where useful beams exit.
Grid
- Similar to a collimator but in a different position.
- Placed directly after the patient.
- Filters deflected rays, preventing image degradation.
