show ionizing radiation  
🗑
show break apart electrically neutral atoms  
🗑
___ photons are man-made infinitesimal bundles of energy that deposit some of their energy into matter as they travel through it.   show
🗑
what are the 2 PRODUCTION xrays   show
🗑
High speed electron is deflected from it path and the loss of kinetic energy is emitted in the form of an xray photon   show
🗑
Bremsstrahlung comprises what percentage of the primary xray beam   show
🗑
show characteristic

When is the xray created in the bremsstrahlung   show
🗑
K-characteristic xrays from a tungsten target xray tube have ____keV evergy   show
🗑
show Compton, photoelectric, coherent  
🗑
The incoming (low-energy) photon releases all of its energy as it ejects an inner shell electron form the orbit   show
🗑
show high atomic number  
🗑
what interaction significantly effects patient dose   show
🗑
show compton  
🗑
show compton  
🗑
an incident photon that does not have enough energy to remove an inner shell electron, due to low binding energy, it is deflected and turned into scatter radiation   show
🗑

🗑
show nonlinear  
🗑
a dose must be received before a response can occur   show
🗑
show linear, threshold  
🗑
show stochastic or probabilistic  
🗑
no safe dose- even one photon can cause a response   show
🗑
is the SI unit of ionizing radiation absorbed in matter (absorbed dose)   show
🗑

🗑
show HVL  
🗑
show Kv & HVL  
🗑
show they do not divide; remember, the most sensitive tissues to radiation are tissues that are constantly dividing (mitosis) Epithelial cells  
🗑
show The image would be underexposed.  
🗑
when you want to make an exposure longer, you would decrease...   show
🗑
A decrease in kilovoltage will result in   show
🗑
risks have a threshold, are nonlinear, includes all early effects, and includes some late effects   show
🗑

show direct effect  
🗑
show radiolysis  
🗑
show indirect effect  
🗑
show indirect effect  
🗑
small doses delivered over a long period of time produce a lesser effect (the greatest effect of irradiation will be observed if a large quantity of radiation is delivered in a short time to the whole body   show
