Exam 6: X-Ray Production

With a 75-kVp exposure,the peak of the curve on the continuous emission spectrum is approximately:

A 65-keV filament electron is not able to produce characteristic radiation.

Changing from a high-frequency generator to a single-phase generator results in the x-ray emission spectrum:

The x-ray beam found after leaving the patient is called the:

Generally speaking,an increase in the quantity of radiation results in decreased patient dose.

If a filament electron enters the tungsten atom with 80 keV of energy and leaves the atom with 75 keV of energy:

Placing filtration in the path of the beam results in:

The average energy of a brems photon is ______ of the kVp selected.

To double the beam quantity:

HVL is described as a certain amount of tungsten or its equivalent that will reduce beam intensity by one half.

The majority of the x-ray photons produced are:

If a filament electron leaves the tungsten atom with 15 keV of energy and the brems photon produced was 65 keV,how much energy did the incoming filament electron have?

Which of the following results in the equivalent of doubling the mAs if the original kVp is 80?

The primary controlling factor for beam quality is:

During the bremsstrahlung interaction,the filament electron:

How many HVLs are needed to reduce beam intensity from 600 mR to 300 mR?

If the intensity of the beam is 900 mR at a distance of 21 inches,what does the distance need to be for the intensity to measure 100 mR?

The discrete emission spectrum is limited to a few specific values.

A continuous emission spectrum is a graphic representation of:

As the distance increases,the beam quantity reaching a specific area:
