A range of fundamental concepts and principles in radiographic imaging, including the properties of x-rays, image formation, and exposure control. It delves into topics such as the composition of the x-ray tube, the role of filtration, the inverse square law, and the importance of spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. The document also addresses key radiographic techniques, such as the use of grids, automatic exposure control, and digital imaging systems. By studying this document, students can gain a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles underlying radiographic imaging and the practical applications of these principles in clinical practice. The content is likely to be relevant for students pursuing degrees in fields like radiography, medical imaging, or biomedical engineering, and could serve as valuable study material for both undergraduate and graduate-level courses.

The target material of the anode is made of: Tungsten ____________ radiography systems have detectors that capture and readout an electronic image signal. Direct Filtration removes the ________ energy photons from primary beam. Low Scatter is produced primarily in the _________. a) x-ray tube b) Image receptor c) patient d) target An increase in milliampere seconds (mAs) in digital imaging, increases the signal to noise ratio and ______ the patient dose. a) increase b) decrease c) has no effect d) invalidates The spatial resolution of the digital image is limited by______ Pixel size The ability of phosphors to light up when hit by x-rays is_____. c) fluoroescence To calculate an unknown radiation intensity at a greater or lesser distance from a known radiation intensity and distance the radiographer uses the Inverse Square law An electron has a Negative charge One reason that grids are utilized is to reduce the amount of Patient dose 100 kV is equal to
The _________ measurement identifiers the biologic effectiveness of the radiation energy absorbed. Effective Dose _________ ensures the electrons flow from the X-ray tube cathode to the anode only. Voltage rectification The___________ standardizes the selection of exposure factors to minimize patient exposure. Technique chart The purpose of filtration is to reduce Patient dose AEC is a radiographic ________ control device that terminates the exposure monitor In direct radiography, the use of ________ as an image receptor capture element amorphous selenium? The higher the number of pixels in a matrix the higher the image resolution X-rays are produced by bremsstrahlung and characteristic X-ray photons exit the tube at the ______ window
