Question 1

An X-ray tube operates at 100 kVp. What is the maximum energy of the photons in the resulting bremsstrahlung X-ray spectrum?

100 keV 50 keV 33 keV (one third of peak) It depends on the tube current (mA)

Correct Answer:

100 keV

Question 2

Characteristic radiation from a tungsten X-ray tube target is produced when:

An incident electron is decelerated by the nucleus An incident electron ejects an inner-shell electron and an outer-shell electron fills the vacancy A photon undergoes Compton scattering in the target An electron is annihilated by a positron

Correct Answer:

An incident electron ejects an inner-shell electron and an outer-shell electron fills the vacancy

Question 3

At the photon energies used in diagnostic radiography (around 20-120 keV), which interaction predominantly determines subject contrast in soft tissue and bone?

Compton scattering Coherent (Rayleigh) scattering Photoelectric absorption Pair production

Correct Answer:

Photoelectric absorption

Question 4

The half-value layer (HVL) of an X-ray beam is best described as:

The thickness of tissue that halves the patient dose The kVp at which beam intensity is half maximal The time taken for radioactivity to fall to half its value The thickness of a specified absorber that reduces the beam air kerma rate to half its original value

Correct Answer:

The thickness of a specified absorber that reduces the beam air kerma rate to half its original value

Question 5

Increasing the inherent and added filtration of an X-ray beam (e.g. adding aluminium) primarily has which effect?

It increases the number of low-energy photons reaching the patient It removes low-energy photons, increasing mean beam energy and reducing patient skin dose It reduces the maximum photon energy of the spectrum It has no effect on patient dose

Correct Answer:

It removes low-energy photons, increasing mean beam energy and reducing patient skin dose
