X-ray emission

Compensating filters are radiation protection devices that using in maintaining image quality.

• False

• True

Increasing filtration increases the quality of the x-ray beam and decreases the quantity.

mAs is a measure of electrons that travel from anode to cathode to produce x-ray.

• False

• True

C (coulomb) is a measure of electric charges.

• False

• True

which of these options are correct:

• 1C = 1000mAs

• mAs = 6.25×10¹⁸e

• mC = mAs

• mAs = 6.25×10¹⁵e
