TEMB 2105 RADIOLOGY PHYSICS, COURSE WORK DUE ON 9TH NOVEMBER 2019

QUESTION ONE

A. Explain how the following affect radiographic images:

i) Intensifying screens

ii. Geometry

iii. Filtration
iv. Grids

B.Describe the effects of kV, mA, time and generator efficiency on the radiographic image quality

C.What is the relevancy of the inverse square law in radiography?

QUESTION TWO

A. With reference to high voltage production, state the purpose of the voltage transformer in
the radiographic system

B. What is the benefit of using a three-phase high voltage transformer to a single-phase high
voltage transformer?
C. In order to produce the thousands of volts required for the production of X-rays, a step-up
transformer with a high turn’s ratio is used. Using an illustrative diagram, explain the mode
of operation o f a single phase (2 pulses) high voltage transformer.
