X-rays are part of electromagnetic spectrum (energy range of 10eV – 120KeV)
type of ionizing radiation (made of photons) originating from the electron shell
produced by machines
Analytical X-ray Safety Training – User Training
Source and UsesWhat Are X-rays?
RYERSON UNIVERSITY 6
Electron(-) X-Ray
Target NucleusTungsten
Example of electromagnetic radiation which comes from electrons which are deflected from their original paths or inner orbital electrons change their orbital levels around nucleus
Analytical X-ray Safety Training – User Training
Source and UsesX-ray Production - Bremsstrahlung
RYERSON UNIVERSITY 7
Produced whenever a high voltage, a vacuum and a source of electrons present
Most x-ray devices emit electrons from a cathode, accelerate them with a voltage and hit the anode (target)
Emits x-rays

RYERSON UNIVERSITY 9
Consists of a x-ray tube, an electrical source of high voltage, tube filament current, and radiation shielding to shape the beam
Principle Types of Diagnostic X-rays: Radiographic, Fluoroscopic, and Photo-Fluorographic
Industrial X-rays - Nondestructive examination of metal parts
Therapeutic X-rays - Superficial x-ray for skin cancer, orthovoltage x-ray generators for deeper lying tumors

Source and Uses
RYERSON UNIVERSITY 11
X-ray Diffraction (XRD)commonly used in chemical analysis
studies arrangements of atoms in solids by studying scattered x-ray beam from atomic arrangement
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)observes fluorescent emissions of x-ray and UV as atoms hit by x-rays
structure of material examines atomic
absorption
