X-RAY TUBES Crossword

The principle that spreads heat over a greater area of the anode and allows the effective focal spot to be smaller than the actual focal spot
How ninety-nine percent of an electrons kinetic energy is converted
Keeps the electron cloud together before they leave the cathode
Occurs when no more electrons can be boiled off the filament; limits x-ray tubes to a maximum of 1000 mA
Area where electrons strike the anode
Environment inside the x-ray tube once all air has been removed
Graph that allows radiographers to determine the maximum technical factor combination that is safe for the x-ray tube
A coil of wire; source of electrons
The product of kVp, mA, and time
Type of radiation emitted outside the tube housing; must be less than 1 mGy/hr at 1 m from the tube
Causes uneven distribution of x-ray intensity between the cathode and anode
The positive electrode of an x-ray tube
The process of boiling off electrons at the filament
The negative electrode of an x-ray tube
The anode is constructed of this material due to its high melting point
