Image Production

5. absorbs scatter radiation
6. incoming photons are not absorbed, but instead lose energy during the interactions with the atoms composing the tissue
8. reduction in the energy or number of photons in the primary x-ray beam after it interacts with the anatomic tissues
10. the removal of an electron from an atom
11. the electron ejected from an atom during a photoelectric interaction
12. a device that receives the radiation leaving the patient
13. the number of photons generated at the output phosphor for every photon generated at the input phosphor

1. the height of the lead strips divided by the distance between the lead strips defines
2. any misrepresentation of an anatomic structure on an image receptor that alters its size or shape
3. the image after processing is known as what kind of image
4. the electron ejected from an atom during a Compton scattering event
7. anything that is foreign to the normal radiographic image
9. each cell of an image matrix is called
