Question
Answer
show -Coherent Scattering. -Compton Effect. -Photoelectric Effect. -Pair Production. -Photodisintegration.  
🗑
show -Low energy x-rays (10 keV). -Also called classical scattering or Thompson scattering. -Not usually in the diagnostic range but will cause fog on a radiograph.  
🗑
Coherent Scattering:   show
🗑
Compton Effect   show
🗑
Compton Effect:   show
🗑
The __________ electron may be deflected in any direction including back in the direction that the incident electron came from (backscatter).   show
🗑
Photoelectric Effect   show
🗑
Photoelectric Effect:   show
🗑
show -Very high energy ranges MeV(out of diagnostic range). -Incident x-ray passes through all outer shells and comes close enough to interact with the nucleus.  
🗑
Pair Production:   show
🗑
Photodisintegration   show
🗑
show Materials which absorb x-ray energy. Appear white on radiographic image.  
🗑
Radiolucent   show
🗑
Differential Absorption   show
🗑
show The higher the atomic number of the material, the greater the differential absorption.  
🗑
Mass Density   show
🗑
show Contrast has a higher atomic number than the surrounding soft tissue there a greater differential absorption.  
🗑
Contrast Administration   show
🗑
show Is of little importance to diagnostic radiology.  
🗑
show Reduces image contrast.  
🗑
Photoelectric Effect   show
🗑
The probability of the ___________________ is inversely proportional to the third power of the x-ray energy (1/E)3.   show
🗑
show (Z^3).  
🗑
Pair Production   show
🗑
Photodisintegration   show
🗑
show Compton scattering, photoelectric effect, and x-rays.  
🗑
show Increases as the kVp is reduced.  
🗑
show Low kVp.  
🗑
The interaction of x-rays with __________ is proportional to the mass density of the ___________ regardless of the type of interaction.   show
🗑
show Is the product of absorption and scattering.  
🗑
Latent Image   show
🗑
Which are of particular importance to diagnostic radiology?   show
🗑
Backscatter Radiation   show
🗑
show The electron removed from the atom.  
🗑
Annihilation Radiation   show
🗑
show A beam containing x-rays that all have the same energy.  
🗑
Polyenergetic   show
🗑
