One quantity retains a consistent proportion to another quantity upon which it relies.  

The milliampere-second (mA.S.) does not have a strongly critical impact when an incorrect value is used because most x-ray films have a certain range of density latitude. Density latitude refers to the range of density (measured in mA.S.) within a radiographic exposure that is not significantly influenced or affected. In other words, even if the…

The component of a photomultiplier tube where secondary electrons are emitted, thereby providing amplification.  

A remarkable carbon cell, featuring a carbon rod as its anode terminal and a cathode comprised of zinc immersed in a chemical paste infused with sal ammoniac.  

A four-terminal switch or relay contact configuration that enables the simultaneous opening or closing of two distinct circuits or both sides of a single circuit.  

An X-ray tube equipped with dual focal spots, with one being smaller than the other. The smaller focal spot is utilized for capturing maximum detail, while the larger one allows for the application of higher energy levels to the tube.  

The amount of radiation given per unit of time.  

The acronym representing the utmost level of denseness achievable in a photographic film. The pinnacle density is influenced by the quantity of silver present in the emulsion of the film and the particular developer employed throughout the processing stage.  

An originating apparatus that allocates and preserves the kilovoltage and amperage (KVA) potential for every individual x-ray chamber autonomously. Each room possesses its distinct power supply, thereby ensuring uniformity in the density of each radiographic image.  

The visual display panel employed for showcasing the CT image differs from a television apparatus in that it typically lacks the built-in receiver enabling channel selection. Monitors are thus employed in closed circuit scenarios.
