Exam 7: X-Ray Interactions With Matter

Pair production

As a result of pair production,a(n)______________ and a(n)______________ are produced.

When i does interact with the image receptor,the Compton scatter photon contributes no useful information because

In reference to patient radiation dose,classical scatter interactions

Photodisintegration interactions

The end product(s)of a photoelectric interaction is (are)

The probability of a photoelectric interaction depends on the energy level of the incident x-ray photon.

Dense material,like bone,is considered:

To minimize occupational exposure,the technologist should

Potential biological damage can occur as a result of a Compton interaction because of the ionization of atoms.

The probability of a photoelectric interaction depends on the atomic number of the atom.

Photoelectric interactions

Secondary photons produced during a Compton interaction

The x-ray photon produced during classical scattering

Pair production occurs when the incident photon interacts with

The primary source of radiation exposure to the radiographer who is in the room during an exposure is

Compton scattering typically occurs with x-ray photons in the energy range of

Excessive absorption is the result of

Photoelectric interactions are more likely to occur in

Radiation interacting with bone is more likely to be absorbed,resulting in that area of the image being
