In an iron-core transformer, the occurrence of power loss is minimized to a great extent. Alternating current (A.C.) initiates the formation of magnetic domains within the iron core, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. This rearrangement process generates heat within the core material. However, the utilization of silicon steel effectively mitigates…

In order to effectively cleanse and stabilize the film emulsion, a supplementary substance can be incorporated into the fixer solution. Although it is not enumerated among the principal chemicals constituting the fixer solution, its inclusion aids in achieving optimal results.  

In the realm of CT imaging, a particular range of CT numbers is established by considering water as the reference value zero, wherein air is assigned a value of -1000 units and dense bone is assigned a value of +1000 units.  

The term “x-ray transformer” refers to a step-up transformer in which the primary (low voltage) side has fewer conductor turns, while the secondary (high voltage) side has a greater number of conductor turns.  

The phrase “a degree of vacuum at which essentially no gases or vapors are present” refers to an extremely low pressure environment where the presence of gases or vapors is virtually absent.  

The term “high voltage transformers” is commonly used to describe transformers that operate at thousands of volts.  

These marks manifest in automatic film processors when there is a malfunction in the developer transport rack or when the processor’s transport system is momentarily deactivated while the film is still immersed in the developer solution. The resulting hesitation marks materialize as irregularly patterned density lines, either in a plus or minus orientation, running perpendicular…

The heel effect pertains to the uneven intensity of the X-ray beam, where the intensity is highest on the cathode side and diminishes towards the anode side. To mitigate this variation, lead apertures and shutters are employed to restrict the periphery of the primary X-ray beam.  

A mechanism employed to circulate and cool the oil within the housing of an X-ray tube, enhancing the heat storage capability and rate of cooling for the housing.  

The capacity of the X-ray tube’s anode to dissipate heat from the target is facilitated by a cooling system employing air, oil, or water.
