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.
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
An x-ray of the breast is called a mammogram.
increase in both frequency and intensity
what kind of relevant experience do you have in the x-ray tech
x-ray
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.

The magnification of the object will increase.
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.
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.
increase in extent
The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.
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.
Power of the X-ray tube, voltage applied, current intensity, anticathode type, filters, collimator, tube design, working atmosphere, etc.
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.
Yes, the intensity of X-rays and gamma rays can differ. Gamma rays typically have higher frequencies and energies than X-rays, so they can be more penetrating and have a higher intensity. However, the actual intensity of these radiation types depends on factors such as the source strength and distance from the source.
Low energy no, higher energy yes. Diagnostic x-rays some pass through.
