Medical X-Ray Techniques in Diagnostic Radiology by G.J.van der Plaats, P. Vijlbrief

By G.J.van der Plaats, P. Vijlbrief

by Professor J. H. Middlemiss, division of Radiodiagnosis, The clinical tuition, college of Bristol This booklet, for therefore lengthy and so deservedly, has been a favorite and trustworthy advisor for anyone present process education in diagnostic radiology even if that individual be surgeon or technician. This new, principally re-written variation is much more comprehen­ sive. And but during the publication simplicity of presentation is maintained. Professor G. J. van der Plaats has been popular to radiologists within the English­ conversing global for greater than 3 a long time. He has been, and nonetheless is, revered through them for his imaginative and prescient, his thoroughness, choice and meticulous consciousness to aspect and for his unremitting enthusiasm. the normal of radiography within the Netherlands all through this era has been acknowledged as being of the very best quality, and this has, in no small degree, been end result of the trend set via Professor van der Plaats and his colleagues.

The area enclosed by the curve and the abscissa represents the total intensity. For 40 kV this is the shaded area. The sharp increase of intensity at a higher kilovolt age is clearly visible as well as the abrupt end of the curve at Amin. It can be seen that the intensity shifts towards the shorter wavelengths with increasing kilovolt age and Ai also shifts in this direction. On the curve for 150 kV, the location of the highest emitted intensity is indicated with an X, which corresponds with Ai on the abscissa for that kilovoltage.

When X-rays strike an object, pa;'t of the incident (primary) beam is attenuated by absorption as described in the previous paragraph. Another portion of the radiation is scattered within the medium. It is this scattered radiation to which particular attention must be paid in practice. 1 Classical scatter An X-ray quantum which has insufficient energy to eject a peripheral electron from its orbit could collide with a whole atom. No energy is lost by the photon, but it is deviated from its original direction, unchanged in wavelength.

The probability of pair production increases with increasing X-ray energy, higher atomic number of the absorbing medium and is proportional to the density. As we have said, formed pairs can by means of annihilation be transformed into radiation again; this radiation may be emitted in any direction and, therefore, must be regarded as scattered radiation. Pair production does l10t occur with the X-ray energies used ill diagnostic radiology. In the foregoing, there has been repeated' mention of distances travelled by electrons and ions after ionization, collisions, etc.
