2. WHAT ARE X-RAYS
X-radiation referred to Röntgen radiation. Unknows rays.
Electromagnetic radiation and depends on two parameters
1 ) wavelength 2 ) electromagnetic in nature
Only be deficient not amplify
Invisible (short period of time)
Photon energies above 5–10 keV are called hard X-rays, while lower
energy are called soft X-rays.
X-ray beam is uncontrollable
3. X-ray Machine Phenomenon
“When fast moving electrons slams into
metallic object it loses its speed the Kinetic
energy is low and then transforms into X-
rays ”
X-ray machine consist of two
things
•KVp (kilovolts peak)
•mA.
Phenomenon
•absorbtion
•deflection
•Translucent
Main constituent is ENERGY
Fast electrons can "kick out"
inner shell electrons when they
collide with an atom
4. X-ray Machine Components and working
WORKING
Filament heats up by mA– electrons
are produced
(kVp) is applied to anode
Negative electrons are attracted
across the tube to the positive anode.
Electrons slow down
Electron beam is focused by the
focusing cup
COMPONENTS
Operating console.
High voltage generator.
X-ray tube.
Some constituents
Autotransformer =single winding
High voltage transformer
Rectifier
Xray tube
Tungsten Filament
