Bremsstrahlung Radiation - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back. This video is an overview of brimstrelung radiation, one of the tar interactions that creates x-ray photons in the x-ray tube. First, let's remember there are three essential requirements for creating x-ray photons. First, a source of free electrons. Secondly, a means of accelerating those electrons. And thirdly, a process for deceleration of those electric each of these steps is controlled by different components and processes inside of the x-ray tube. Free electrons are created at the cathode filament through the process of thermionic emission. These electrons are accelerated through the x-ray tube by a voltage. That's the KVP. These electrons are decelerated when they interact with the tungsten atoms in the anode target, and through that process, they create x rays. Bremstro lung radiation is one of the processes through
