Radiation Sources – X ray
X-ray Radiography (cont.)
The cathode contains a small High Electrical Potential
filament much the same as in a light
bulb. Electrons
Current is passed through the + -
filament which heats it. The heat
causes electrons to be stripped off. X-ray Generator
The high voltage causes these “free” or Radioactive
Source Creates
electrons to be pulled toward a Radiation
target material (usually made of
tungsten) located in the anode.
The electrons impact against the
target. This impact causes an energy Radiation
exchange which causes x-rays to be Penetrate
the Sample
created.

❑ X-Ray Tube Head Components (Cont.):
➢ Pocket dosimeter
➢ Film Badge:
❑ Survey Meters:
❑ Time:
➢ Dose = Dose Rate x Time
• The penetrameter is a device whose Image on Radiograph is
used to determine radiographic quality level (Sensitivity).
