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.
Before a volcanic eruption seismic activity seems to?
increase in both frequency and intensity
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
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?
Factors influencing intensityfiltrationvoltage (in kV)target materialcurrent (in mA)distance from the sourceFactors influencing qualityfiltrationvoltage (in kV)target material
If the OID on x ray is increased what happens?
The magnification of the object will increase.
What is increase intensity?
increase in extent
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.
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.
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 does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
Can x ray penetrate of any intensity penetrate through human bone?
Low energy no, higher energy yes. Diagnostic x-rays some pass through.
Does black hole radiates any type of rays?
Yes, all high energy types. The intensity of each ray depends on the type of black hole. Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma
Can you miscarry if you have an X-ray?
It is highly unlikely that a single x-ray examination could cause a miscarriage. It is best not to have x-rays while pregnant because the possibility exists that the radiation could affect the newly dividing cells of the foetus, but in reality it would probably take a lot of focused, high intensity x-ray beams to cause a problem.
How do you increase the intensity of sound waves from a radio?
Increase the volume.
