RTC 100--Group 2 Presentation

Topic for Group 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?

RTC 100--Group 3 Presentation

The first three group presentations went off successfully on Thursday, November 6th.

All the group members did well, and I am extremely proud of the effort that was made.

Below is group three's presentation. I will be posting each presentation online in the upcoming weeks.

Group 3's topic was:
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?


Judge for yourself how well they did.
