10Fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms:
The [blank_start]anode[blank_end] disc has a target track made of 90% [blank_start]tungsten[blank_end] and 10% [blank_start]rhenium[blank_end]. Tungsten has a high [blank_start]melting point[blank_end] and high atomic number giving it a high [blank_start]thermal capacity[blank_end]. The addition of rhenium produces less [blank_start]roughening[blank_end].
The anode disk base is made of a [blank_start]molybdenum graphite alloy[blank_end] making it [blank_start]lightweight[blank_end] with [blank_start]good heat dissipation[blank_end].
The rotor is made of [blank_start]copper and iron[blank_end] giving it a high thermal capacity and [blank_start]conductivity[blank_end].- Aanode

11X-rays are produced by [blank_start]high voltage[blank_end] acceleration of electrons from a [blank_start]tungsten filament[blank_end] [blank_start]negative cathode[blank_end] (3) within a [blank_start]vacuum[blank_end], towards a [blank_start]tungsten target[blank_end] on a [blank_start]positive anode[blank_end] (4). This anode [blank_start]rotates[blank_end] to dissipate heat generated. [blank_start]Photons[blank_end] are generated through [blank_start]atom interaction[blank_end] in the anode and an [blank_start]x-ray beam[blank_end] (5) is directed towards the [blank_start]patient[blank_end].

12[blank_start]Bremsstrahlung[blank_end] x-rays occur when an [blank_start]electron[blank_end] passes very near the [blank_start]nucleus[blank_end] of an atom and is slowed and deviated from the resulting [blank_start]electromagnetic interaction[blank_end]. In this process, the electron loses [blank_start]energy[blank_end] and a [blank_start]photon[blank_end] (x-ray) is emitted.

13A [blank_start]characteristic[blank_end] x-ray is when a [blank_start]high energy[blank_end] electron (1) collides with an [blank_start]inner shell[blank_end] electron (2) in a tungsten [blank_start]atom[blank_end]. Both are ejected from the atom leaving a [blank_start]vacancy[blank_end] in the inner shell. This is filled by an [blank_start]outer shell[blank_end] electron (3) with a loss of energy emitted as an [blank_start]x-ray photon[blank_end] (4).

14Ionising radiation is radiation that has enough enery to free an electron from an atom, creating an ion.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15Match the keyword with the correct definition:
[blank_start]kVp[blank_end] measure of the maximum voltage potential across an x-ray tube, responsible for acceleration of the electrons from the cathode to the anode
[blank_start]mA[blank_end] determines current through filament, a measure of the total number of electrons flowing from cathode to anode
[blank_start]time[blank_end] controls duration of electron flow being subjected to the voltage differential, determines duration of bombardment of anode by electrons
[blank_start]mAs[blank_end] product of exposure time and x-ray tube current, becomes the Total Radiation Output- AkVp

16What is meant by the term resolution in medical imaging?

- BThe scale of contrast on an image
- CThe product of kVp and mAs
17A lower spatial frequency (line pairs per millimetre) indicates better spatial resolution.
- ATrue
- BFalse
18When an image is produced with [blank_start]few[blank_end] x-rays (i.e. [blank_start]low mAs[blank_end]) the quantum mottle will be [blank_start]higher[blank_end] than if the image was produced with [blank_start]many[blank_end] x-rays (i.e. [blank_start]high mAs[blank_end]).
