Cassetteless Imaging
What is Digital Radiography (DR)?
200
Most modern x-ray equipment uses this type of generator.
What is a high frequency generator?
200
The target is made of this because of it's high melting point.

200
Also known as Thompson scatter.
What is Coherent Scattering?
200
(Digital Radiography) Detector Unit built into the table and upright wall unit.

300
This terminates the exposure time when an exact amount of exposure for a given body part has been achieved.
What is Automatic Exposure Control?
300
"Braking Radiation".
What is Bremsstrahlung Radiation?
300
Particles within the nucleus of an atom.
What are protons and neutrons?
300
Scattter that is directed back toward the x-ray tube.
