  1. 5. In this process, elections from the cathode dislodge inner-shell electrons in the anode, leading to the creation of gaps in the electron configuration.
  2. 8. Alternative Imagine Modality
  3. 9. Benefit of x-rays: X-ray imaging can be used to visualize a wide range of anatomical structures, from bones to soft tissues.
  4. 11. Repeated exposure to this can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer.
  5. 13. A device commonly found in hospitals or diagnostic centers, composed of a cathode and anode.
  6. 18. A form of radiation that travel though the universe in waves.
  7. 20. X-ray energy is measured in ___________.
  8. 22. the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues.
  9. 23. The release of energy in the form of x-rays.
  10. 25. Emits a stream of electrons when heated.

  1. 1. Benefit of x-rays: Eliminates the need for surgical procedures to visualize internal structure
  2. 2. Translates to "breaking radiation" in German.
  3. 3. Involves high-energy interactions between electrons and matter. The key component of this process is the x-ray tube.
  4. 4. Repeated or unnecessary x-rays can lead to an accumulation of radiation over time
  5. 6. Involves passing x-rays through the body to create static images. Radiographs are the resulting images, used for diagnosing foreign objects in the body, bone fractures and detecting lung conditions.
  6. 7. Imaging method that involves continually emitting x-rays while a fluoroscope captures the images.
  7. 10. A negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound).
  8. 12. When electrons collide with this they undergo rapid deceleration, resulting in the release of energy in the form of x-rays.
  9. 14. tissues bones and metallic objects, absorbs more x-rays and appears white on x-ray images
  10. 15. Computed Tomography scans.
  11. 16. Procedure that visualizes blood vessels
  12. 17. Produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media.
  13. 19. Protocols that optimize the radiation dose to the minimum required for diagnostic accuracy.
  14. 21. Used to protect sensitive areas of the body from unnecessary exposure to radiation.
  15. 24. To move or pass along or through.
