The filter in an X-ray tube head serves to remove low-energy X-ray photons from the beam that do not contribute to the diagnostic image but increase patient dose. By filtering out these less penetrating rays, the filter enhances the quality of the X-ray beam, ensuring that only higher-energy photons, which can penetrate tissues and produce clearer images, are allowed to reach the patient. This improves image quality and reduces unnecessary radiation exposure, making the procedure safer for patients.

Which component of the xray machine functions in positioning the tubehead?

The component of the X-ray machine that functions in positioning the tube head is the tube head support arm. This arm allows the operator to adjust the angle and height of the tube head to ensure the X-ray beam is directed accurately at the area of interest. It typically includes a locking mechanism to secure the tube head in place during the imaging process.
