Q

brems. xrays

A

energetic e- made when e- interact with nuclear electric fields

17
Q

relationship btwn focal spot & blurring?

A

small fs –> decreased blurring

18
Q

relationship btwn focal spot & exposure time?

A

large fs –> decreased exposure time bc tolerates more power loading

19
Q

how to change kV & target Z to increase brems xray production?

A

increase accelerating kV increase Z of target

20
Q

what are the 3 fates of xrays

A

1/3 scatter 2/3 absorption <1% transmitted/penetration

21
Q

define the 2 types of scatter

A
  1. Compton: most e-, photons transfers E to a Compton e- 2. Coherent: low E e- is scattered from an atom without any E loss; <5% of scatter.
22
Q

Molybdenum keV & Z

A

20 keV Z=42

23
Q

Tungsten keV & Z

A

70 keV Z=74
