Introductory Medical Radiation Science

Fill in the following body positions:
❌ standing or sitting
❌ lying down
❌ lying on back
❌ lying facedown
❌ lying on one side
❌ right side touches the image plate
❌ left side touches the image plate

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms:
The ❌ disc has a target track made of 90% ❌ and 10% ❌. Tungsten has a high ❌ and high atomic number giving it a high ❌. The addition of rhenium produces less ❌.

The anode disk base is made of a ❌ making it ❌ with ❌.

The rotor is made of ❌ giving it a high thermal capacity and ❌.

X-rays are produced by ❌ acceleration of electrons from a ❌ ❌ (3) within a ❌, towards a ❌ on a ❌ (4). This anode ❌ to dissipate heat generated. ❌ are generated through ❌ in the anode and an ❌ (5) is directed towards the ❌.

❌ x-rays occur when an ❌ passes very near the ❌ of an atom and is slowed and deviated from the resulting ❌. In this process, the electron loses ❌ and a ❌ (x-ray) is emitted.

A ❌ x-ray is when a ❌ electron (1) collides with an ❌ electron (2) in a tungsten ❌. Both are ejected from the atom leaving a ❌ in the inner shell. This is filled by an ❌ electron (3) with a loss of energy emitted as an ❌ (4).
