A circuit where the output signal is intentionally postponed by a predetermined time period in relation to the input signal.  

The duration by which an electrical signal is delayed.  

The expulsion of gaseous particles inhabiting an electron tube (X-ray) through the application of thermal energy.  

In the realm of radiation therapy, there exists a concept known as “skin sparing,” which refers to the optimization of treatment outcomes by maximizing the effects at a specific depth within the body’s tissues, while simultaneously safeguarding the skin and superficial tissues from excessive radiation exposure.  

A nuclide emerges as a consequence of the radioactive decay process undergone by radionuclides. The products of this decay can exist in two states: either as stable elements or as radioactive substances.  

The time period or recuperation duration of a Geiger-Muller (G-M) counter and a scintillation counter after detecting a pulse varies. The scintillation counter exhibits a correction factor of 1 percent, whereas the G-M counter has a correction factor of 11 percent.  

A switch designed in such a way that a circuit-closing connection can only be sustained through continuous pressure on the switch is referred to as a momentary switch.  

A direct current generator is a mechanical apparatus that generates a power supply of direct current by rotating the armature in a manner that allows the commutator ring to furnish the external circuit with pulsating direct current.  

The technique of inserting, extracting, and introducing films into the processor under regular room illumination is known as “daylight loading.” This process involves the utilization of specialized equipment, eliminating the requirement for a darkroom.  

The constituents of a computed tomography (CT) apparatus employed for generating and capturing data regarding x-ray attenuation consist of an x-ray tube, sensors, and preamplifiers for the sensors. These elements are affixed to the gantry.
