5 Questions
What type of x-radiation is characteristic of the target element?
Bremsstrahlung x-rays
How does a change in mA or mAs affect the x-ray emission spectrum?
Results in a proportional change in the amplitude at all energies
What happens when kVp is raised?
The area under curve increases by approximating the square of the factor by which kVp was increased
What is the effect of adding filtration to the useful x-ray beam?
Reduces x-ray beam intensity while increasing the average energy
What does the atomic number of the target affect?
Affects both the number (quantity) and effective energy of x-rays
