Semiconductor
A substance characterized by its resistivity falling between that of insulators and conductors is extensively employed in the realm of solid-state devices.
-
Self – scattering
The dispersion of radiation caused by the substance that emits the radiation.
-
Self -rectification
During the operation, the negative phase is directly connected to the anode of the x-ray tube, enabling the flow of electrons solely from the cathode to the anode in the positive phase while interrupting the electron flow in the negative phase.
-
Self- induction
The generation of an electromotive force (emf) within a circuit through the presence of a fluctuating current in that very circuit.
-
Self-inductance
The property of inductance that generates an induced electromotive force (emf) within the same circuit due to a variation in the flow of electric current.
-
Selenium rectifier
A deprecated solid-state rectifier made of semiconductor materials that was utilized in the early 1960s for x-ray systems powered by three-phase generators.
-
Secondary winding
A coil of wire in a transformer that acquires energy through electromagnetic induction from the primary coil. It is alternatively referred to as the secondary winding.
-
Secondary electron
A subatomic particle discharged due to the collision of an incident electron with a substance.
-
Schonander
The utilization of a swift film changer in specialized procedure examinations holds substantial significance. This ingenious device finds application in both singular and dual-plane angiographic examinations.
-
CT scan time
The duration during which the patient is exposed to the primary X-ray beam with an open shutter is referred to as the scan time. The selection of the scan speed governs the precise length of this interval.
