Question
Answer
x-rays interact with matter in the following five ways.   show
🗑
show Compton effect and photoelectric effect.  
🗑
show The wavelength of the radiation  
🗑
True or False: X-rays have very short wavelengths.   show
🗑
show shorter  
🗑
show electrons; nuclei.  
🗑
show Classical scattering or Thompsons scattering. Low energy x-rays (below 10 keV) and atoms  
🗑
In Coherent Scattering the incident x-ray interacts with a target atom causing it to become?   show
🗑
(Coherent Scattering) The excited atom immediately releases this excess energy as a scattered x-ray with a wavelength equal to the incident x-ray. True or Fase   show
🗑
show A slightly different direction.  
🗑
show energy  
🗑
show ionization.  
🗑
Most coherent scattered x-rays are scattered in what direction?   show
🗑
Coherent scattering is of little importance to?   show
🗑
show The compton effect or compton scattering.  
🗑
show ionization  
🗑
show A Compton electron or a secondary electron.  
🗑
show different; less  
🗑
show True  
🗑
(Compton Effect) The energy of the ejected electron is equal to?   show
🗑
show Ei=Es (Eb+Eke) Ei is the energy of the incident x-ray Es is the energy of the scattered x-ray Eb is the electron binding energy Eke is the kinetic energy of the electron.  
🗑
During a Compton interaction, most of the energy is divided between?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show none  
🗑
(Compton Effect) As the angle of defelction increases to 180 degrees, more energy is transferred to?   show
🗑
show Two-thirds  
🗑
show Backscatter radiation  
🗑
(Compton Effect) The probability of the Compton effect decreases as x-ray energy?   show
🗑
show atomic number  
🗑
show image contrast  
🗑
Compton scattering in tissue can occur with all x-rays and therefore is of considerable importance in?   show
🗑
Scattered x-rays provide what kind of information on the radiograph?   show
🗑
The photoelectric effect occurs when an incident x-ray is totally absorbed during the ionization of an inner shell electron. True or False?   show
🗑
(Photoelectric Effect) The electon removed from the atom is called?   show
🗑
What happens to the incident x-ray during the photoelctric effect?   show
🗑
show a characteristic x-ray.  
🗑
show A vacancy in the K shell  
🗑
A photoelectric interaction CANNOT occur unless the incident x-ray has energy how much energy?   show
🗑
show False. It is directly proportionalx-ray to the third power of the x-ray energy and inversely proportional to the third power of the absorbing material.  
🗑
show True  
🗑
True of False: Pair production occurs during x-ray imaging.   show
🗑
If an incident x-ray has sufficient energy, it may escape interaction with electrons and come close enough to the nucleus of the atom to be influenced by the?   show
🗑
show disappear; two; positively; negatively; pair production  
🗑
show 1.02 MeV.  
🗑
(Pair Production) The x-ray interacts with?   show
🗑
show Two  
🗑
show 0.51 MeV  
🗑
Because two electrons are formed in pair production interaction with 0.51 MeV, the incident photon must have at least how much energy?   show
🗑
(Photodisintegration) X-rays with energy above approximately 10 MeV can escape interaction with electrons and the nuclear force field and will be absorbed by what?   show
🗑
(Photodisintegration) When the high energy x-ray is completely absorbed by the nucleus, the nucleus is raised to an excited state and instantly emits a nucleon or other nuclear fragment. This process is called what?   show
🗑
True or False: Photodisintegration does NOT occur in diagnostic radiology.   show
🗑
show high energy; nucleus  
🗑
(Photodisintegration) The x-ray is absorbed by the nucleus, and the nuclear fragment is emitted. True or False?   show
🗑
(Differential Absorption) More important than the interaction of the x-ray by Compton or photoelectric effect is the x-ray transmitted through the body without interacting.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
(Differential Absorption) Of the five ways an x-ray can interact with tissue, how many are important to radiology?   show
🗑
(Differential Absorption) Compton scatter results in image noise. True of False?   show
🗑
show reduced.  
🗑
show 1%  
🗑
(Differential Absorption) An x-ray image results from the difference between x-rays absorbed photoelectrically in the patient & those transmitted to the image receptor. This difference in x-ray interaction is called?   show
🗑
(Differential Absorption) The relative probability of interaction between bone and soft tissue (differential absorption) remains constant, whereas the absolute probability of each decreases with increasing energy. True or False   show
🗑
show the absorbed x-rays produce the white images on the radiograph, such as bones.  
🗑
(differential Absorption) At low energies, most x-ray interactions with tissue are photoelectric. At high energies, Compton scattering predominates. True of False.   show
🗑
show proportional. When mass density is doubled, the chance for x-ray interaction is doubled because twice as many electrons are available for interaction.  
🗑
show Barium and iodine compounds. Contrast agents.  
🗑
Air is still used for contrast in some examinations of the colon along with barium; this is called? (Contrast Examinations) When used in this fashion, air is what type of contrast agent?   show
🗑
show Coherent scattering, Compton effect, photoelectric effect, pair production, and photodisintegration.  
🗑
show The atomic number of the tissue atoms, the mass density, and the x-ray energy.  
🗑
show True  
🗑
(Exponential Attenuation) The total reduction in the number of x-rays remaining in an x-ray beam after penetration through a given thickness of tissue is called?   show
🗑
(Exponential Attenuation) Attenuation is the product of?   show
🗑
(Exponential Attenuation) X-rays are attenuated exponentially which means what?   show
🗑
(Exponential Attenuation) Attenuated x-rays are reduced in number by a given percentage for each incremental thickness of tissue they go through.   show
🗑
show  
🗑
  show
🗑
