Direct radiation
The radiation emitted directly from the X-ray tube is referred to as primary radiation.
-
Diode tube
A two-electrode electronic device, such as the X-ray tube and rectifying valve tube, consists of a cathode and an anode as essential components.
-
Dimming circuit
Situated within the filament circuit of the X-ray apparatus, the filaments remain illuminated even when the machine is not actively producing exposures. However, they operate at a low amperage in stand-by mode and swiftly ignite to maximum brightness both prior to and during the exposures. This sequence of events significantly extends the lifespan of the…

Dielectric hysteresis
The electric field experiences a time delay in relation to the applied field within the dielectric material of a capacitor.
-
Diamagnetic
A substance exhibiting the property of magnetic repulsion, such as beryllium or bismuth.
-
Diagnostic radiograph
An X-ray image possessing optimal penetration, commendable density, and discernible intricacy.
-
Depth of focus
The permissible degree of defocus within the image plane that can be accepted while preserving a predetermined level of resolving capability.
-
Density equalization filter
A supplementary radiographic device utilized to intentionally induce a fluctuation in X-ray intensity over a region with uneven thickness.
-
Demagnetization
The elimination of magnetic attraction.
-
Delta winding
The arrangement of the primary coil and one of the secondary coils in three-phase X-ray generators. While the star configuration is employed for one of the secondary coils, there are two secondary coils in total.
