highest quantity and quality. ---------- Correct Answer ----------- True

What type of generator units do mammography units operate with? ---------- Correct Answer -----
------ High frequency generators

Are long or short exposure times more likely to cause to failure ---------- Correct Answer ---------
-- Long

Localized, potting, or cracking on the anode can be caused by what? ---------- Correct Answer ---
-------- A single excessive exposure

What causes the anode heal effect? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- Xray absorption within
the anode

True or False? As an x-ray to gets older, the inside may become coded with tungstun, and which
can cause arcing in the tube. ---------- Correct Answer ----------- True

Are the stators on the inside or the outside of the glass envelope? ---------- Correct Answer -------
---- Outside

The ___ is the source of radiation in the xray tube ---------- Correct Answer ----------- focal spot

What does the tube rating show? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- Longest exposure time of
xray tube can be energized without overheating

What creates space charge? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- The heating of the filament which
boils off electrons

What is the target of the rotating and usually coated with? ---------- Correct Answer -----------
Tungsten

What is the most common cause for tube failure? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- tungsten
vaporization

High capacity tube rotors revolve at _____ rpm. ---------- Correct Answer ----------- 10,000

Is the filament on the positive or negative side of the tube? ---------- Correct Answer -----------
Negative

What is a filament made of? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- Tungsten

, What are the components of the anode? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- stator and rotor

What are the components of the cathode? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- filament and
focusing cup

With the rotating anode the focal spot becomes what? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- Focal
track

Why does the focusing cup keep the electrons together? ---------- Correct Answer -----------
Repelling them into a group bc negative repels negative

What is the stator made of? ---------- Correct Answer ----------- electromagnets

What happens to the tube if you prep the rotor, but do not expose an x-ray often? ----------
Correct Answer ----------- Damage
