X-Ray Production Flashcards
3 elements of x-ray production
- Electrons
- High voltage
- Target atom
Where are elctrons produced?
heat filament
it accelerates electrons from the cathose side to the anode side
High voltage
Where x-rays are produced
Target atom
First to be supplied in the XR tube
Electric current
Electric current is supplied to — of the XR tube
both side
It is the application of electric current to the filament and release of electron
Liberation
Concept where thermionic emission is under
Liberation
Focuses the electron
Focusing cup
Formation of electron cloud
Spce charge
Concept where the space charge effect is under
Focusing
2 concepts of electric current
- Liberation
- Focusing
Giving energy to the electrons
Electric potential
Provides a precise amount of voltage to the electrons
Acceleration
Electrons move from the filament to the target/ anode
Acceleration
