The device that receives the radiation leaving the patient
is the:
Ans: Image receptor
________ results in the process of image formation,
whereby the x-ray beam interacts with the anatomic
tissue, and a portion of the beam passes through the part
and strikes the image receptor.
Ans: Differential absorptions
______ is the loss of some of the energy from the x-ray
beam as it passes through the tissue being imaged.
Ans: Attenuation
The photoelectric effect involves the removal (ejection)
of an electron. This process of removing and electron from
an atom is known as:
Pretest - Stuvia US
,2
Ans: Ionization
When the x-ray photon travels completely though the
part without any interaction, it is called:
Ans: Transmission
When the x-ray photon strikes an atom within the tissue
being imaged and loses all of its energy to an inner shell
electron of that atom, the photon is said to have been
_______.
Ans: Absorbed
When the x-ray photon strikes an atom within the tissue
being imaged and loses all of its energy to an outer shell
electron of that atom, the photon is said to have been
______.
Ans: Scattered
The interaction between x-ray photons and tissue that
results in production of a secondary x-ray photon is the:
Pretest - Stuvia US
, 3
Ans: Photoelectric interaction
When the entering x-ray photon loses energy and
changes its path of travel as a result of interacting with an
atom, the interaction is known as the:
Ans: Compton effect
The probability of total photon absorption by the
photoelectric effect depends on the:
Ans: Energy of the incoming x-ray photon and atomic
number of the anatomic tissue
The outer shell electron that is ejected during the
Compton interaction is also known as a:
Ans: Secondary electron and Compton electron
The x-ray photon that is scattered as a result of the
Compton effect CANNOT:
Pretest - Stuvia US
