Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Primary radiation is produced at the anode target and is directed toward the patient.
2. 100% of the radiation produced at the anode target is from bremsstrahlung interactions.
3. The kinetic energy of bremsstrahlung radiation can range from zero to the maximum kVp exposure setting.
4. Characteristic radiation produced in the L or M shell is of value in diagnostic imaging
5. Leakage radiation cannot exceed 100 mR/hr at 1 meter from the source.
1. TRUE The primary beam is the useful part of the beam that exits the x-ray tube window.
2. FALSE Approximately 80%90% of the radiation produced at the anode target is attributable to bremsstrahlung interactions.
3. TRUE The kinetic energy (measured in keV) of bremsstrahlung radiation can range from zero to the kVp applied to the x-ray tube.
4. FALSE Characteristic radiation that may occur via the L or M shell is too low in energy to be of value in diagnostic imaging.
5. TRUE Leakage radiation is secondary radiation that exits through the protective metal tube housing.
