LRA 211 X-RAY PRODUCTION AND
INTERACTIONS WITH MATTER PART 2
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT!!!
What human tissue experiences the most photoelectric absorption events
during a radiographic procedure?
Answer: Bone tissue
What is the primary byproduct of a coherent scatter event?
Answer: A scattered photon
Bremsstrahlung means:
Answer: Braking radiation
What happens to the energy in the incident photon from a Compton
scattering interaction?
Answer: The photon loses up to 1/3 of its energy.
What is the primary source of radiation exposure to the radiographer who is
in the room during an exposure?
Answer: Scatter radiation from the patient (irradiated tissue)
Why can't photoelectric interactions be reduced to zero?
Answer: X-ray absorption is necessary to produce an image.
