LRA 211 X-RAY PRODUCTION AND
INTERACTIONS WITH MATTER PART 2
PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
bone tissue - answer ✔✔-What human tissue experiences the most photoelectric absorption events
during a radiographic procedure
A scattered photon - answer ✔✔-What is the primary by product of a coherent scatter event
braking radiation - answer ✔✔-Bremsstrahlung means
The photon looses up to 1/3 of its energy - answer ✔✔-What happens to the energy in the incident
proton from Compton scattering interaction
Scatter from the patient (irradiated tissue) - answer ✔✔-What is the primary source of radiation
exposure to the radiographer who is in the room during an exposure
x ray absorption is necessary to get an image - answer ✔✔-Why can't photoelectric interactions be
reduced to zero
transmitted - answer ✔✔-Radiation interacting with air is more likely to be _____________, resulting in
that area of the image being darker.
Classical, Compton scattering , photoelectric effect, pair production & photodisintegration - answer ✔✔-
What are five types of ways X-rays interact with matter
