Anode Cooling I - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back. In this video, we'll be discussing anode cooling charts and their use in safe imaging techniques. The production of x rays at the anode target produces much more heat compared to x-ray photons. Since extreme levels of heat can be damaging to the equipment, we always have to be aware of the difference between safe and unsafe technical factors. Before the development of advanced modern x-ray equipment, operators would often have to use charts like this one in order to determine if there's selected technical factors and the time between exposures were safe or unsafe for the x-ray equipment, even though today, our modern x-ray equipment includes microprocessors, which help prevent setting of unsafe exposure factors, operators still are encouraged to understand these charged, as well as perform
