What is the energy of an X-ray?
The strength of an xray is refered to as kVp, and it varies depending on the speed of the electrons before they hit the anode inside the x-ray tube.
Which factor controls the amount of radiation emitted from the xray tube?
mA
Can airport xray machines see diamonds?
Yes an airport xray will pick up a diamond or multiple. ( source airport worker )
The radiation emitted from the xray tube and strikes the patient directly is called?
primary radiation
How do cathode ray tubes work?
The cathode ray tube (CRT) is an evacuated glass envelope containing an electron gun (a source of electrons) and a fluorescent screen, usually with internal or external means to accelerate and deflect the electrons. When electrons strike the fluorescent screen, light is emitted. Source: Copied from Wikipedia
What is the maximum amount of leakage radiation that can escape from an xray tube?
1 mGya/hr at 1 meter.
What are the people that do x rays?
They are radiologic technologists, or radiographers for short.
Do X-rays originate from the cathode or the anode of an X-ray tube Yes anode are the source but is this where they ORIGINATE from?
X-rays result when high energy electrons slam into stuff, mostly metals. We accelerate electrons by using high voltage. An X-ray tube has high voltage applied between a cathode and an anode. The cathode, from which the electrons originate, is negative, and the anode, which is positive is the "target" for those electrons. The electrons, having been accelerated by the high voltage, "slam into" the anode, and generate the X-rays. The anode is the source of the X-rays.
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end
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.
How discharge tube is different from tube light?
discharge tube can be used for indentifying electrons while tube light cxannot
How are electrons generated in a gas filled tube?
As this relates to EE, the electrons are already in there.
