Difference between rotating anode x ray tube and stationary x ray tube?
A rotating anode promotes cooling between exposures by distributing the intense beam from the cathode over the surface of the anode. A rotating anode tube lasts a lot longer than a stationary x-ray tube.
Which factor controls the amount of radiation emitted from the xray tube?
mA
The radiation emitted from the xray tube and strikes the patient directly is called?
primary radiation
What are the people that do x rays?
They are radiologic technologists, or radiographers for short.
What is the maximum amount of leakage radiation that can escape from an xray tube?
1 mGya/hr at 1 meter.
What is the proper method of confirming nasogastric tube placement?
Confirming Nasogastric tube placement must be done through pH testing and xray, not by using the whoosh method.
What is a nose piece on microscope?
the rotating part of the body tube; holds the objrctives
What is a microscopic nose piece?
the rotating part of the body tube; holds the objrctives
What is the purpose of the pollination tube that forms after pollination?
the purpose of the of pollen tube is to fuse or join with the ovules to cause fertilization.
Factors influencing quality and intensity of xray?
Power of the X-ray tube, voltage applied, current intensity, anticathode type, filters, collimator, tube design, working atmosphere, etc.
What are stationary anode x ray tubes?
An x-ray tube where the anode is held still, rather than rotated as would happen in the rotating anode tube.
What is an advantage to being able to rotate the body tube on a microscope?
Rotating the body tube allows you access to other parts of the microscope that may need cleaning/repairing.
