  • Added filter

    Typically, when we mention the inclusion of 2mm aluminum in the inherent filter of a diagnostic beam, it is primarily done to eliminate soft rays that lack the penetrating characteristics.  

  • Actual focal spot

    The region of the target which consistently exceeds the effective focal size. It corresponds to the section of the anode where the electrons make impact.  

  • Active trace

    The specific component of the television scanning system actively employed to replicate the subject matter.  

  • Acetic acid power supply

    A power source that delivers one or more alternating current (AC) output voltages, similar to an acetic acid generator or transformer. This particular category of power supply serves as the energy provider for the primary switch within the x-ray circuit.  

  • Absorption x-ray spectrum

    The portion of an X-ray beam that remains unabsorbed while passing through an absorber is known as the transmitted radiation. It is also commonly referred to as remnant radiation.  

  • Absorption unsharpness

    This phenomenon arises due to the absorption of X-rays by the object undergoing radiography. As a consequence, the resulting image exhibits a lack of sharpness in its interstructural geometry, often referred to as object unsharpness or subject unsharpness.        

  • Absorbed dose rate

    Radiation dose rate, expressed in rads per unit time, refers to the amount of radiation absorbed within a specific timeframe.  

  • Abrasion marks

    Occasionally, the emulsion of an X-ray film may bear marks generated through rubbing, marring its surface.  

  • Abberation

    Within the realm of optics, an unwelcome attribute emerges known as aberration. This trait, regrettably, obstructs the lens or optical system from achieving a faithful replication of the original subject, resulting in the degradation or distortion of the captured image.  

  • Rillettes

    Rillettes, a traditional French pork delicacy, entails a meticulous process. The pork meat is cooked with utmost tenderness and patience in pork fat, delicately seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices. Once cooked, the meat is skillfully pounded or shredded to achieve a desirable texture. It is then carefully packed into ramekins and sealed with a…
