Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Thoramat

    The Siemens fully automated setup designed for diagnostic chest imaging incorporates a film magazine with a cutting mechanism, along with an integrated processing machine.  

  • Thoraeus filter

    An essential radiological filter consisting of tin is employed as the primary filter, complemented by a secondary filter composed of copper to absorb the characteristic radiation emitted by the tin. Furthermore, a third filter made of aluminum is utilized to absorb the characteristic radiation produced by the copper. In the kilovolt range of 200 to…

  • Thermoelectron

    Electrons are released through the process of heating a metal filament, which serves as the filament within an x-ray tube.  

  • Thermionic vacuum tube

    Any electronic tube equipped with a filament exhibits the ability to emit electrons upon heating. Examples of such tubes include x-ray tubes, valve tubes, photo tubes, and various others.  

  • Thermal radiation

    Heat radiation, a phenomenon observed in all objects with a temperature above absolute zero, manifests as thermal energy emission. This radiant energy encompasses a range of wavelengths, spanning from the briefest ultraviolet rays, through the spectrum of visible light, to the most extended infrared wavelengths. It is commonly referred to as heat due to its…

  • Therapy tube

    A specialized x-ray tube specifically crafted for the purpose of x-ray therapy is distinguished from its diagnostic counterpart by operating at lower milliamperage and higher kilovoltage. The construction of a therapy tube deviates to some extent from that of a diagnostic tube. Notably, the focal spot is considerably larger, and it incorporates a stationary node…

  • Electrical temperature

    As the electrical temperature elevates, the resistance within a circuit experiences a proportional augmentation.  

  • Effect on screen speed temperature

    If the room temperature increases, the speed of the screen decreases, but the two have a tendency to cancel each other. An alteration in technique under these conditions is not necessary.  

  • Television screen

    The luminescent display panel housed within the cathode ray tube of a television set.  

  • Television lines

    The television raster is formed by the horizontal lines produced as a result of the trajectory followed by the electron beams used to scan the pick-up and kinescope tubes.
