Prime Factors

Question 1

mA

Answer 1

# of electrons crossing from cathode to anode per second
1 mAs= 6.3 x 10^15 electrons/sec

Question 2

mAs

Answer 2

Product of number of electrons crossing the tube and how long the electrons are allowed to cross the tube current times time

Question 3

kV

Answer 3

Controlling factor of quality but has bigger impact on quantity
Increasing the kV increases the speed and energy of electrons across the tube

Question 4

Distance

Answer 4

Measured by using dosimeter
mGya
Use inverse square Law and exposure maintenance formula

Question 5

Filtration

Answer 5

Radiation protection
Decreases quantity, increases quality.
Measured as HVL
Hardens beam and decreases entrance skin exposure
