Radiation Science

1. What primarily controls the quality or penetrability of x-rays?
4. This surrounds the anode and cathode and is often vacuum sealed.
7. This term is an acronym adopted by radiology professionals and serves to remind them to keep their dose levels low.
8. What type of x-ray interaction occurs at the inner shell of an atom at the target surface?
10. These are found within the filament cup of the cathode. There are normally two of them.
11. What primarily controls the quantity of x-rays?

2. What type of x-ray interaction occurs at the inner shell of the atom within human tissue?
3. This is the process of reducing the amount of exposure that is directed at the image receptor. It is controlled manually, or automatically.
5. Radiography tables are often made of this radiolucent material.
6. these devices are used to remove scattered radiation from reaching the image receptor.
8. What type of x-ray interaction occurs at the outer shell electron of an atom of tissue?
9. What type of x-ray interaction means "breaking"?
