|
|
Term
| Determined by the penetrating power (kilovoltage) |
|

Quality
Remember: The shorter the wavelength the more penetrating power and the ability it has |
|
|
Term
| Number of x-rays traveling from the tube toward film (mA) |
|
Definition
Quantity
Remember: Intensity of the x-ray beam is the # of x-rays traveling from the tube towards the film in a period of time |
|
|
Term
| In order for an x-ray tube to produce x-rays this must occur |
|
Definition
| Electrical current must be supplied to bothe filament and the field between the cathode anode |
|
|
Term
Measured in thousand of volts responsible for accelerating the electrons from the cathode to the anode relates to penetrating power
|
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Determines the quality of x-rays the higher kVp means more penetrating beams (more x-rays reach the film) |
