X-ray PHOTONS • Electromagnetic waves • Shorter wavelength and higher energy than normal light. • Wave-particle duality – Photons can be described both as waves and particles. 14
The Electromagnetic Spectrum • X-rays have wavelengths much shorter than visible light • Wavelengths longer than high energy gamma rays 15 MEASURED IN ANGSTROM 0. 1 – 0. 5 FOR X-RAYS
Process of x-ray production on Cathode side (-) 1. m. A (milliamperage) is sent to filament – 2. 3. Via cables ______ heats up – electrons “boil off” (thermionic emission) – focusing cup focuses electron beam toward anode Electrons have ____ charge 16
Process of x-ray production on Anode side (+) 1. Positive voltage (k. Vp) is applied 2. Causes electrons to _____ towards anode – Laws of attraction 3. Electrons “slam into” target of anode – suddenly stopped. 4. ___________ARE CREATED 17
18
TO PRODUCE X-RAYS YOU NEED • A SOURCE OF ELECTRONS • A FORCE TO MOVE THEM QUICKLY • SOMETHING TO STOP THEM SUDDENLY 19
Cathode
Cathode 1. Filament 1. ________ 2. Focusing cup (beam focus) 21
Anode
• High voltage to anode attracts electrons from cathode • Current to stator causes rotation of anode 23
Anodes - Target Rotating Anodes • 2” to 5” disk (focal track) Cu Rotation speeds Low: 3, 000 – 3, 600 rpm High: 9, 000 – 10, 000 rpm W Molybdenum or Graphite base 1. Common target (focal track)material is _____ 24
X-ray Tube Anode v Stator and rotor make up the induction motor v Molybdenum stem connects rotor with anode v v reduces heat transfer to rotor and bearings Focal track area v spreads heat out over large area 25
Rotating Anode Molybdenum stem and base used because it is a poor heat conductor Tungsten can withstand high heat loads 26

31
Image Receptors and Bucky tray 32
• The bucky tray can be found: – In the table or chest board • Holds the cassettes – CR – Film Screen 33
34
35
Bucky tray 36
Bucky Tray Image receptor is held in bucky 37
• Tilting tables – diagnostic and fluoroscopic work – 90 degrees in one direction – 15 – 30 degrees in the other direction – ancillary equipment: Tables • footboard, shoulder support, handgrips, compression bands 38

FLUOROSCOPY IMAGES IN MOTION 42
43
44
REMOTE ROOM & OLD CONVENTIONAL FLUORO 45
FLUOROSCOPY must wear shielding while x-ray beam is on 46
Tube Supports • Designed to help technologists with various tube locations for creative imaging. • Tube suspension systems are available in 5 versions 47
48
49
50
Tube Movement • • • Longitudinal Transverse Vertical Angling or Rolling Rotating Telescoping 51
Grids 1. Body parts ___cm & more 2. Lead strips parallel to centerline 3. Absorbs _______ – Improves detail 52
1. Scatter adds a _____appearance 2. Makes image more ____ 53
54
COLLIMATOR 1. Attaches directly below the x-ray tube 2. Serves as a beam limiting device 3. Controls _____ and ______ of the x-ray field 55
Collimator Knobs 56
Cone collimator 57
**ALWAYS** collimate smaller than the size of the cassette 58
59
CONTROL CONSOLE • Gives the technologist control of the xray machine • Technique selection • Located OUTSIDE of the Radiographic Room 60
61
The Control Console 1. Set technical factors 1. ________ 2. Make an exposure 3. Only a legally licensed individual is authorized to energize the console 62
“Technique” k. Vp , m. As (m. A x s) • What is set at the control panel • How the “image” is created on the “film” or Image receptor (digital) • k. Vp controls the “ENERGY” of the beam • The Higher k. Vp – more penetrating • Ranges is 50 -110 in Diagnostic x-ray 63
“Technique” k. Vp , m. As (m. A x s) • m. A- is the current in combination with the time – determines HOW LONG the beam will stay on • Controls the density on the film/image 64
RADIOGRAPH • PERMANENT RECORD MADE USING RADIATION – RADIO- RADIATION (usually x rays) – GRAPH PERMANENT RECORD 65
66
IMAGE CREATION • ATOMS • INTERACTION WITH “MATTER” • ATOMIC NUMBER 67
68
Barium has a higher z# more asorbtion of photons 69
Why you see what you see • The films or images have different levels of density – different shades of gray • X-rays show different features of the body in various shades of gray. • The gray is darkest in those areas that do not absorb X-rays well – and allow it to pass through • the images are lighter in dense areas (like bones) that absorb more of the X-rays. 70
