Exponential Attenuation Flashcards
1
Q
an interaction such as photoelectric effect is called??
A
Absorption Process
2
Q
why it is called absorption process?
A
because the xray disappears
3
Q
the total reduction in the number of xrays remaining in an xray beam after penetration through a given thickness of tissue is called
A
Attenuation
4
Q
What is xray attenuation?
A
when an broad beam of xray incident on any tissue some xray are absorbed some xray are scattered resulting to reduced the number of xray
5
Q
Interaction od xray by absorption and scatter is called
A
Attenuation
