  • The principle and optimization of an x-ray tube for medical and basic-science applications is discussed through multiple choice questions.

    To prevent getting exposed to x-rays while working with an x-tube, it is typically enclosed by lead. The main motivation for using lead is that it is a high-Z material that is an excellent absorber of x-rays (higher Z mtrl -> better absorber).

  • Cost Function using High Low Method

    For 7,000 x rays the total cost would be 21,000. The total cost is 29,000, a difference of 8,000. The cost function is 3*no. of x rays + 8,000. For 3,000 x rays we get the total cost as 3,000X3+8,000=17,000 as given above.
