1

Compton

________ scattering depends on material density and its electron density.

New cards
2

Positron

________ and electron may interact and produce a pair of annihilation photons in the opposite direction, each with 511 keV.

New cards
3

N0

________ is the number of incident photons, N is the number of photons coming out of a material, and Δx is the distance the photons travel (objects thickness)

New cards
4

Electrons

________ within the matter oscillate in phase when the photon interacts, but none are ejected.

New cards
5

photoelectric effect

The ________ describes a photon interacting with a single electron, which bumps around energy levels.

New cards
6

Electron

________ is ejected and the photon loses energy, veering off of its path.

New cards
7

Rayleigh scattering

________ has a pretty low energy range, but this affects quality.

New cards
8

compton scattering

In ________, the photon interacts with a single (probably valence) electron.

New cards
9

linear attenuation coefficient

Μ is the ________.

New cards
10

Energy

________ must be greater than 1.02 MeV (double the static general photon ________, which is 511) to produce a positron- electron pair.

New cards
11

Photon interaction

________ depends on the materials density and atomic number, as well as the photons energy.

New cards
12

Compton

________ is the most common mode of interaaction within the imaging energy range.

New cards
13

Beers Law

N = N0 * e^-μΔx

New cards
14

Mass attenuation coefficient

μ / density

New cards
15

Photon interaction depends on the material’s (BLANK) and (BLANK), as well as the photon’s energy

Density, atomic number

New cards
16

Which two electron interaction modalities are most common in x-rays?

Compton scattering, photoelectric effect

New cards
17

Pair Production occurs when the photon interacts with the…

Nucleus

New cards
18

T or F: Electrons are ejected in rayleigh scattering

False

New cards
19

T or F: Electrons are ejected in compton scattering

True

New cards
20

Energy absorbance in the photoelectric effect produces what 3 things?

Photoelectron, ion, characteristic radiation

New cards
21

The photoelectric energy produced (increases/decreases) as atomic number increases, but (increases/decreases) as the indicent energy increases (aka electrons might pass through without being absorbed)

increases, decreases

New cards
22

This type of scattering is the main cause of noise on an x-ray image.

Rayleigh
