What type of x-radiation is characteristic of the target element?
What type of x-radiation is characteristic of the target element?
- X-rays produced by added filtration
- Bremsstrahlung x-rays (correct)
- X-rays with the highest intensity
- X-rays with the lowest energy
How does a change in mA or mAs affect the x-ray emission spectrum?
How does a change in mA or mAs affect the x-ray emission spectrum?
- Increases the average energy of the x-ray beam
- Results in a proportional change in the amplitude at all energies (correct)
- Shifts the position of the emission spectrum to the right
- Reduces the quality of the x-ray beam
What happens when kVp is raised?
What happens when kVp is raised?
- The area under curve increases by approximating the square of the factor by which kVp was increased (correct)
- The x-ray quantity decreases by half
- The x-ray quality becomes inconsistent
- The x-ray intensity reduces significantly
