Imaging Equipment Week 1

To produce x-rays, a cloud of electrons are necessary and the cathode must have a strong positive charge.

The rate of flow of electrons passing through the x-ray tube during an exposure is

The cathode includes the

The primary purpose of the step-down transformer is to

The stator is made up of electromagnets.

The step down transformer is found on the

The effective focal spot is smaller than the actual focal spot because of the anode angle.

The devices that change alternating to direct current are the

AEC controls the ________________ of radiation reaching the image receptor.

Electromagnetic radiation has no mass.

The primary side of the high voltage (step up) transformer is found on the

Which of the following occurs first in the sequence of events leading to x-ray production?

The anode includes the

With a rotating anode, the focal spot becomes a

The device that adjusts the incoming power supplied to the x-ray circuit to maintain 220 V is the
