keVkVp( kVp, keV ): the maximum energy available kVpkeV( keV, kVp ): measure of energy
step-downstep-up( step-down, step-up ): if turns in secondary are < turns in primary step-upstep-down( step-up, step-down ): if turns in secondary are > turns in primary
Power loss in the form of heat due to resistance happens in copper
Power loss in copper can be minimized by using largersmaller( larger, smaller ) diameter conductor
What are the types of full-wave generation?
3 phase - 6 pulse
Single phase
High frequency
3 phase - 12 pulse
P-type materialN-type material( N-type material, P-type material ): silicon-arsenic bond P-type materialN-type material( P-type material, N-type material ): silicon-gallium bond
The anode is positively charged and cathode is negatively charged
Types of anodes RotatingStationary( Rotating, Stationary ): Found in general x-ray machines RotatingStationary( Stationary, Rotating ): Found in dental units
Rotating anodes are made of tungsten encased in solid copper
What slows the pitting and cracking of the anode?
Copper
Tungsten
Rhenium
Oil
Where can you find the focusing cup?
Cathode
Anode
The source of electrons come from where?
What needs to be warmed to minimize cracking?
What causes arcing and can crack the tube?
Tungsten deposition
Filament evaporation
Anode evaporation
As the angle of anode increases, heel effect decreasesincreases( decreases, increases )
Area of the effective focal spot is determined by the angle of the cathodeanode( anode, cathode )
Thermal capacity of the anode is the amount of heat the anode can storebear( store, bear ) as opposed to how much it can storebear( bear, store ) in one exposure
Using a higher kVp increases heat units (HU)
