Appendix learning Flashcards
1 atomic mass unit (AMU) =
half the mass of a carbon 12 atom
Max electrons to a shell?
2nsquared n= shell number
Kinetic energy =
half mass velocity squaraed
Frequency is what relationship to T
= 1 / T
Velocity in relaton to wavelength and frequency
V = Wavelength x frequency
intensity in relation to frequency
I = plancks constant x frequency
intensity in relation to wavelength
I = plancks constant / wavelength
How do intensity and distance relate to each other
1 / d squared
in XR - how is heat calculated in J
= wave form x peak kV x mAs
Temp rise
energy applied / heat capacity
Compton probability
density / Energy
Photoelectric prob
density x atomic number cubed / energy cubed
Factor of reduction
2 to the power of HVl
LAC and HVL related how
LAC = 0.693 / HVL
MAC
= LAC / density
In CR - what is the image place made out of
Barium fluohalidate doped with Euopium ions
How thick is the image plate in CR
0.3mm
DQE =
SNR out squared / snr in squared
In DR what are the scintillators made out of
Indirect -
Caesium iodide with thallium
Matrix is made of amorpheus silicone with Hydrogen
Direct -
amorpheus Selenium
Indirect scintillator is what and gives off what colour wavelength
Green
What is the equation of Fill factor
sensitive area / total area
what is the compression on mammography
usually 100 - 150 N
max 200N
What are the different focal spot sizes?
Normal radiography is 1mm
mammography
- borad 0.3mm
- fine 0.1mm
mammo focus to film distance is always
65cm
In Fluro - what is the input made out of (both)
aluminium or titanium foil
Sodium activitated Caesium iodide
(400-500microm thick)
BLUE light
what kind of light does the fluro input make
blue
In fluro what is the photocathode?
Anitmony caesium
What is the output screen made of in fluro?
Silver activated cadmium sulphide
How thick is the output in fluro
a few micrometeres only
Gain brightness in fluro =
minification xx flux
in fluro - minification
= (input diameter/output) squared
In Fluro - image intensifier CONVERSION factor =
Luminance of the output / entrance dose rate
Normal minification factor
100
