What is the lost of some energy from the x-ray beam as it passes through the tissue being imaged? -
Beam attenuation
The photoelectric affect involves the removal and or ejection of an electron. This process of removing an
electron from an atom is? - Ionization
When the x-ray photon strikes an atom within the tissue being imaged and looses "all" of it's energy to
an "inner" shell electron of an atom the photon is set to have been ________ to undergo ________? -
absorb; photoelectric interaction
When the x-ray photon strikes an atom within the tissue being imaged and looses only "part" of it's
energy to an "outer" shell electron of an atom the photon is set to have been ________ and undergo
________? - scattered; Compton effect
When the entering x-ray photon looses energy and changes it's path of travel as a result of interacting
with an atom, the interaction is known as? - Compton effect
The x-ray photon that is scattered as a result of the compton effect cannont what? - Cannot strike
the image receptor, and provide useful information
Interactions of high energy x-rays (energies beyond the disgnostic range) witht the tissue include: 1. Pair
production 2. Coherent scattering 3. Photo disteration? - Pair production and photo disteergation
Name of an Interaction with low energy x-rays, below the diagnostic range? - Coherent scattering
The x-ray beam that leads the patient in the direction of the image receptor is often referred? -

Unwanted exposure to the IR due to scatter radiation is? - Fog
, The ______ image occurs first on the image receptor and the _____ image occurs following proper
image processing? - Latent image; manifest images
At higher kv ______ photon interactions occur resulting in _______ transmissions? - fewer;
increase
