Exam 7: X-Ray Interactions With Matter

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

Compton scattering involves the x-ray photon:

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

The fog seen on the radiographic image is the result of:

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

The Compton scatter photon:

Photodisintegration occurs when the incident photon interacts with:

The x-ray photons that are produced as a result of a characteristic cascade during a Compton interaction:

Photoelectric interactions:

Coherent scattering involves:

The probability of Compton scattering depends on the energy level of the incident x-ray photon.

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

Pair production occurs when the incident photon interacts with:

The photoelectric interaction and Compton interaction can both result in a characteristic cascade,producing characteristic radiation.

Secondary x-ray photons are the result of:

All Compton scatter photons travel in the direction of the image receptor.

Radiation interacting with air is more likely to be _____________,resulting in that area of the image being darker.

Most classical scatter photons:

Photodisintegration interactions:

Without differential absorption,the image would be a single shade of gray.
