מבנית:Components of the x-ray tube איכותית:heat unitsעקומת העמסהעקומת הקירור איכותית: heat units עקומת העמסה עקומת הקירור |
|
Characteristic radiation: the shot electron hits another electron in ____ of an atom of the ____ and ____. |
level K, anode, knocks it out of place |
|
When an empty place is created in _____ radiation, an electron from _____ moves to fill it. The energy lost in that movement is released as _____. |
characteristic, level L, x-ray |
|
When the anode is made of tungsten, how much energy does the shot electron need to have to produce characteristic radiation? |
70KV (to overcome bond of 69.5) |
|
____ or _____ _____ is a type of energy produced when shot electrons reach the atoms of the material in the anode and change direction as they approach the nucleus. |
Bremmstrahlung קרינת בלימה |
|
X-rays produced from קרינת בלימה are ____, ____, and ____. |
רציף continuous Heterogenic Monochromatic |
|
Smaller angle of real מוקד= Larger angle of real מוקד= |
Smaller angle of real מוקד= Smaller מוקד מעשי and sharper image Larger angle of real מוקד= Larger מוקד מעשי and less sharp image |
|
What is the heel effect? |
When an anode's angle is 17° or less, the rays are stronger on the side of cathode. We can use this to our advantage by placing thicker organs on that side. |
|
The angle of the anode affects not only חדות but also ____? |
Contrast |
|
Why causes the heel effect? |
The sharp angle and the fact that the anode absorbs some of the electrons |
|
How can we recognize the anode and cathode sides? |
Anode (+) and has cable Cathode (-) |
|
X-rays produced from characteristic radiation are ____ and ____. |
Homogenic and בדיד (in bursts?) |
|
X-rays, which are heterogenic and continuous, are mostly the result of ____. |
קרינת בלימה bremmstrahlung |
|
Over 70KV, what percentage of energy will be produced by characteristic radiation? |
15% |
|
Under 70KV, what percentage of energy will be produced by characteristic radiation? |
0% |
|
When the anode is made from molybdenum, ____ happens at only ___ or more, increasing the likelihood. |
Characteristic radiation, 20 kv |
|
True or false. Tungsten and molybdenum can both make קרינת בלימה. |
True |
|
The anode disc is attached to a ___, which makes it spin. |
Rotor |
|
The _____ surround the rotor and help power it to spin. |
Stators |
|
The stators are powered by ____, which helps us recognize the side of the _____. |
Electricity, anode (bc of the cord) |
|
The rotor is made from ____. |
נחושת |
|
The target of the anode is made from _____, which has an atomic number of 69.5. |
Tungsten |
|
Why does the anode spin? |
To ensure that the electrons hit a different area each time, to reduce heat, and to get more electrons bc using a longer filament |
|
What three ways can we reduce the heat in the x-ray tube (בקרת חום מבנית)? |
|
|
What happens when the oil in the x-ray tube heats up too much? |
It expands and presses on a switch קונצרטינה that expands and opens the electric circuit and stops the flow of electricity |
|
What is the real מוקד? |
The angled part of the anode where the electrons actually hit (depends on length of filament |
|
What is the מוקד מעשי? |
The actual focus are of the beams (What hits the patient), a geometric calculation of the real מוקד |
|
We want the _____ to be as small as possible and the _____ to be as large as possible. |
מוקד המעשי מוקד האמיתי |
|
Why do we want the מוקד מעשי to be as small as possible? |
improved חדות |
|
How does a bigger real מוקד contribute to controlling heat? |
Can stand more heat (last longer) and gives more electrons (sharper x-rays) |
|
How do mammograms maximize חדות? |
Using a very small מוקד מעשי (.3 mm) |
|
How does the angle of the מוקד אמיתי affect the מוקד מעשי? |
We can play with the angle of the מוקד האמיתי to be able to control heat and לעמיס more electrons on the anode without changing the size of the מוקד המעשי to preserve the חדות. |
|
What are the three בקרת חום איכותית? |
|
|
What is KVP? |
Kilo volt peak (heat) |
|
What is HU? |
Heat unit, the unit of energy that an anode can absorb |
|
HU is a factor of what? |
KVP × MA × SEC × Factor |
|
What is MA? |
Miliampere (זרם) |
|
What does factor refer to? |
Which generator we use |
|
What is עקומת העומס/tube rating chart? |
Shows the safe limits of הארה (heat on target field of anode); checks the limits of KV, MA, and S (exposure time) not to hurt tube |
|
What affects the עקומת עומס? |
דגמ"ח סוג ז + KVp ד=קוטר הדיסק ג=גודל מוקד מ=מהירות סיבוב אנודה ח=חומר האנודה ז=זווית האהודה KVP=strength of electrons |
|
