Across
- 4. starts the x-ray production process
- 6. strength or energy of the x-ray beam
- 7. center portion of the primary beam
- 9. bundle of energy released during x-ray production
- 10. main x-ray beam that exits the tubehead
- 11. energy of motion of electrons moving toward the target
- 13. release of electrons when the filament is heated
- 14. group of electrons that form around the filament before exposure
- 15. heated wire that produces electrons in the cathode
- 16. controls the number or quantity of x-rays produced
- 18. byproduct created when electrons strike the target
- 19. radiation formed when an electron knocks out an inner-shell tungsten electron
Down
- 1. negative electrode that supplies electrons
- 2. controls the power and penetrating ability of the x-ray beam
- 3. braking radiation created when electrons pass near the nucleus
- 5. surface on the anode where electrons strike to produce x-rays
- 8. length of time x-rays are produced
- 12. x-rays produced when electrons slow down near the nucleus
- 17. accelerates electrons from cathode to anode
- 20. positive electrode that converts electrons into x-rays
