DADDY 2 Flashcards
Three Principal Parts of X-ray Imaging System
X-ray Tube, Operating Console & High Voltage Generator
It is attached to an overhead movable crane assembly
X-ray Tube
LOCATIONOF X-RAY TUBE
examination room
Fluoroscopic X-ray Tube is located____
under the examination table
Examination Table must be ____
transparent to x-rays as possible
composition of examination table
carbon fiber
ratio of Fluoroscopic Table Tilt
90/30
90 degree to foot side
30 to head side
housed in an equipment cabinet positioned against a wall
High Voltage Generator
High Voltage Generator is always clodes to the
x-ray tube
Most familiar to the radiologic technologist
Operating Console
It is used to control the x-ray tube current & voltage applied to the x-ray tube
Operating Console
It provides control of line compensation, kVp, mA & exposure time
Operating Console
The number of x-rays
Radiation Quantity
The intensity of the x-ray beam
Radiation Quantity
Radiation Quantity units
mR or mR/mAs
The penetrability of the x-ray beam
radiation quality
radiation quality is expressed in
kvp or hvl
It measures the voltage provided to the x-ray imaging system
Line Compensator
It controls the kVp
Autotransformer
It consists of only one winding of wire & one core
Autotransformer
supplies a precise voltage to the filament circuit & high-voltage circuit
Autotransformer
location of autotransformer
operating console
Autotransformer Law
states that the voltage receive & provide by the transformer is directly proportional to the number of turns
formula of autotransformer law
Formula: Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
