How are X-Rays produced: Characteristic and Bremsstrahlung radiations

This interactive video for rad techs provides a comprehensive overview of the production of X-ray photons. It covers the X-ray anodes, X-ray focusing cups, and characteristic and Bremsstrahlung radiations.

In this video, you will see how X-ray tube components including X-ray anodes and focusing cups are used in the production of X-rays. We will also review the two types of radiation produced by the tube: Bremsstrahlung radiation and characteristic radiation (which is also called k-shell emission). #XrayProduction #PhotonProduction #XrayAnodes #FocusingCup #BremsstrahlungRadiation #KshellEmission #characteristicRadiation #MedicalProfessionals #RadTechHub Be more than just certified, choose Medical Professionals. https://www.medical-professionals.com/ Follow us on socials!
