The intensity of the x-ray can be increased by the voltage going to the cathode which will increase the amount of electrons being given off through the vacuum and hitting the tungsten target which means more electrons hitting the target so more x-ray radiation being given off. You can also change how fine the beam is because if you have the beam of electrons focused on one area then the increase of the electrons hitting that one area will cause the increase in x-rays being given off instead of them being spread out over a large area.

What happens when the x-ray tube is to close to the chest for an x-ray?
WHILE TAKING A PA VIEW OF CHEST DISTANCE BETWEEN XRAY TUBE AND FILM IS ABOUT 6 FT SO AS TO DECREASE THE MAGNIFICATION AND INCREASE THE SHARPNESS OF IMAGE WHEREAS AN AP VIEW WHICH IS TAKEN AT LESSER DISTANCE THERE IS INCREASED MAGNIFICATION AND DECREASED SHARPNESS. THEREFORE WHEN the X-ray tube is to close to the chest for an X-ray IT CAUSES 1 INCREASED MAGNIFICATION 2 DECREASED SHARPNESS
How do they call the breast X-ray image?
An x-ray of the breast is called a mammogram.
What begins with the letter X in Sweden or has the letter X in it?
x-ray
Sample answers to x-ray tech interview questions?
what kind of relevant experience do you have in the x-ray tech
Before a volcanic eruption seismic activity seems to?
increase in both frequency and intensity
How can you vary the X-ray intensity in an X-ray cabinet?
The basic way to increase X-ray intensity is to increase the voltage that drives the X-ray tube. To up the exposure, just leave a specimen in longer.
What are the factors that influence the intensity and quality of a xray beam?

If the OID on x ray is increased what happens?
The magnification of the object will increase.
What is the intensity of X-ray radiation used in medical imaging procedures?
The intensity of X-ray radiation used in medical imaging procedures varies depending on the specific procedure and the patient's needs. It is typically measured in milliampere-seconds (mAs) and kilovoltage (kV). The intensity is carefully controlled to minimize radiation exposure while still producing clear images for diagnosis.
What happens if the kVp of an X-ray beam remains the same and the mA setting is increased?
If the kVp is kept the same but the mA is increased, the x-ray will have more contrast but there will be no increase in penetration. Increasing kV by 10 is the about the same as doubling the mAs. If the patient is large, then it is better to increase the kV. If the x-ray is too grey, then it is better to increase the mAs.
What is increase intensity?
increase in extent
What does PID stand for in radiography?
PID stands for Position-Indicating Device in radiography. It is a component of the X-ray machine that helps control the direction and intensity of the X-ray beam by determining the size and shape of the beam.
What is Compton effect?
The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.
How do decibels increase exponentially in relation to sound intensity?
As sound intensity increases, decibels increase exponentially. This means that a small increase in sound intensity can result in a much larger increase in decibel level.
Is On a decibel scale an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of?
An increase of 10 decibels represents a tenfold increase in intensity. For example, going from 50 dB to 60 dB corresponds to a tenfold increase in sound intensity.
How does an increase in intensity change the amplitude?
An increase in intensity of a wave causes the amplitude to increase as well. This is because intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. So, as intensity increases, the amplitude of the wave also increases.
Factors influencing quality and intensity of xray?
Power of the X-ray tube, voltage applied, current intensity, anticathode type, filters, collimator, tube design, working atmosphere, etc.
