Description
This course is designed to teach students about the physics of x-ray production. Students will learn about the characteristics of an x-ray beam, how it is created, and how they travel. Students will learn the different ways that X-ray photons interact with matter and how it can affect atoms and cells. Students will also learn how electrical circuits work and the different types of circuits used in the x-ray process.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
• Explain the difference between AC and DC circuits.
• Identify and describe each part of the x-ray circuit and what it does.
• Demonstrate the creation process of the x-ray beam and how it travels through the x-ray tube.
• Describe the different ways that x-rays photons can interact with matter and the cause.
