This side of the x-ray tube is driven by an Electromagnetic Induction Motor

___________ is when radiation intensity is greater at the cathode side of an x-ray beam and is a byproduct of the Line Focus Principle.

X-rays that are produced outside the target/focal spot and reduces image contrast.

A coil of thoriated Tungsten wire that is the source of electrons.

A evacuated tube that contains two electrodes, Cathode and Anode.

_____ describes when x-rays have equal intensities and goes in all directions.

When x-rays that exit the tube other than the Tube Window:

The angling of the target on the Anode which makes an effective focal spot that can be created smaller than the actual focal spot describes:

The point in which a further increase in kVp will not result in a higher mA because all the electrons have been used.

Tube life is extended by using which appropriate radiographic factors?

When Thermionic Emission is limited because of the negatively charged electrons make it difficult for subsequent electrons to be emitted by the filament.

Tube heat must be dissipated through:

Section of the tube designed to let x-rays pass through

This part of the x-ray tube prevents x-rays from radiating in all directions and absorbs x-rays.

This part of the tube is typically made of Pyrex.

What part of an x-ray is used to heat up the filament?

Filament circuit is what kind of transformer?

What variable is important to the Filament Circuit

What term do you use for x-rays that pass through the Tube Window

Which part of the x-ray tube contains the focusing cup and filament?

Cathode is _____ charged. Anode is _____ charged.

Where do electrons move from within the x-ray tube?

How are electrons moved from the TWO electrodes within the x-ray tube?

The Focusing Cup is positively charged to repel the negatively charged electrons towards the Anode.

The Focusing Cup needs to be negatively charged equal to the electrons that build up during Thermionic Emission to direct the electrons to the anode.

What limits the tube's maximum mA range from 1,000 - 1,200?

0.5 - 1.0 mm in size and is associated with one of the filaments on the Focusing Cup.

1.0 - 2.0 mm in size and is associated with one of the filaments on the Focusing Cup.

As small as 0.2 mm in size and is associated with one of the filaments on the Focusing Cup.

Electrical Conduction, Mechanical Support for Target, and Thermal Conduction are functions of what?

Which of these results in a high efficiency x-ray production?

What does the diagram depict?

When the target angle is made smaller, the effective focal spot will become _________.

Radiation intensity is greater on which side of the x-ray beam?

The difference in intensity across the useful beam can vary as much as 45%, what is this describing?

Extrafocal X-Rays improve diagnostic images.

What describes not useful radiation and reduces image contrast and extends the size of the focal spot?

This component in an x-ray tube is typically made of Tungsten/Rhenium alloy.

Provides 1,000x more area of electron beam to interact with, describes what?

What is the minimum amount a tube is allowed to leak?

What factor draws electrons from Cathode to Anode?

What allows for better Spatial Resolution and is 0.5 - 1.0 mm in size?

The smaller the Target Angle, the ______ Effective Focal Spot.

What is a byproduct of the Line Focus Principle?

What does this diagram depict?

Another name for Extrafocal Radiation

How does a Focusing Cup direct an electron cloud towards the cathode?
