500

The process of exposing a dental radiograph follows a series of steps


(IN DETAIL)

1. Turn on xray machine for electrical current to flow

2.Current -> step down transformer which reduces voltage to 3-5 V

3. Filament circuit heats 3-5V in cathode portion of xray tube resulting in release of electrons from tungsten filament once exposure button is hit 

4.Electrons in cathode accelerated across anode to step up transformer 

5. Once electrons hit tungsten target kinetic energy is reduced to 1% 

6. Heat is carried away by copper stem and absorbed by oil 

7. Xrays travel through window, seal and aluminum discs where longer wave lengths are removed 

8.Collimator restricts size of beam and xray beam travels through PID to exit
