RTC 100--Power Point Presentation Topics

The following topics will be presented on Thursday November 6, 2008.

1. Take a picture of a typical x-ray operator's console. Discuss each of the dials, switches, displays, and buttons on or connected directly to the operator's console. What is the purpose of each component of the console, and how does it impact the production of x-rays and/or the appearance of the radiographic image?

2. Describe the various components of a typical x-ray tube. Make sure you have a clearly labeled diagram of the x-ray tube. What is the function of each component? What are the differences between a stationary anode tube and a rotating anode tube? Also discuss recent innovations in x-ray tube design. What design features have been introduced, and how do these new design features improve on what existed in the older tubes?

3. Take pictures of the equipment in your energized x-ray lab. (Table, bucky tray, vertical cassette holder, grid, generator, high tension cables, tube housing, collimator, etc.) Describe the purpose of each bit of equipment in your x-ray room. Your discussion should answer the questions what does it do, or what is it used for?
