- 4. are abnormalities or disorders of the vascular system, either in veins or arteries.
- 5. Is an instrument with a fluorescent screen used for viewing X-ray images without taking and developing X-ray photographs.
- 6. the negatively charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device.
- 9. Is the English term of Bremsstrahlung Radiation.
- 10. The inner shell are the electrons closest to the nucleus – usually the S and P shells due to their lower energy sub orbitals.
- 14. refers to a computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of x-rays is aimed at a patient and quickly rotated around the body, producing signals that are processed by the machine’s computer to generate cross-sectional images, or “slices.”
- 15. is a type of imaging procedure that uses several pulses of an X-ray beam to take real-time footage of tissues inside your body.
- 19. A type of X-ray used to check blood vessels.
- 20. the process of transforming an image into a digital form and performing certain operations to get some useful information.
- 21. the radiation given off by free electrons that are deflected (i.e., accelerated) in the electric fields of charged particles and the nuclei of atoms.
- 23. It is a form of energy that acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules of materials that include air, water, and living tissue.
- 24. the process or occupation of taking radiographs to assist in medical examinations.
- 25. the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave a device.Electrons
Down
- 1. A keV (or kiloelectron volt) is equal to 1000 electron volts.
- 2. takes place when the incoming electrons collide with the electrons within the heavy metal and knock-out the electrons from the electron shell.
- 3. A procedure that uses a computer linked to an x-ray machine that gives off a very low dose of radiation to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body.
- 7. are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
- 8. The distance between peaks (high points).
- 11. A type of radiation used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases.
- 12. a picture produced on a sensitive surface by a form of radiation other than visible light. specifically : an X-ray or gamma ray photograph.
- 13. The total amount of a substance or radiation that a person is exposed to over time.
- 16. Is the use of lead as a form of radiation protection to shield people or objects from radiation so as to reduce the effective dose.
- 17. Is an imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of organs, tissues, and other structures inside your body.
- 18. is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously
- 22. Are a type of diagnostic test that can create detailed images of nearly every structure and organ inside the body.
