Chapter 5: The X-Ray Tube

Question 1

The positive side (Anode)

Answer 1

Roter and stator coils

Question 2

The X-Ray tube

Answer 2

Process x-ray for diagnostic imaging

Routine diagnosis, C-Arms, and other decimated equipment

Question 3

Only way (man-made)

Answer 3

99% of energy = heat

Question 4

X-ray process

Answer 4

1% of energy

Question 5

Source of electrons

Answer 5

Cathode filament

Question 6

Anatole contains

Answer 6

Target

Question 7

Tungsten anode

Answer 7

High voltage

Question 8

Vacuum

Answer 8

X-eat tube works on principle of electrons flowing through a vacuum

Question 9

The cathode assembly
(Negative side)

Answer 9

Filament, focusing cup, high voltage, associated wiring, filament circuit

Question 10

Thermionic emission

Answer 10

Electrons to shoot across tube

Question 11

Low voltage side of x-ray circuits

Answer 11

Source of electrons

Question 12

Vibrations

Answer 12

Balance bond of valence band
Jumping of electrons
Causes heat

Question 13

Thoriated tungsten

Answer 13

Wires that light up inside like hair dyer

0.1-0.2 mm thick
1-2mm wide
7-15mm long

Question 14

Tungsten

Answer 14

Hard to melt, melting point is 3,370

Electrons to be released from filaments (boiled off)

Similar to light bulb

Question 15

Two filaments wires

Answer 15

Dual focus arrangements

Small- better detail
Larger- bigger body part

Question 16

X-ray machine

Answer 16

Low current flows to filament
Warm up
Prepare for thermal joint necessary for x-rat production
