This video/dvd discusses important points related to X-Ray Emitting Devices. The main points include: The various devices that emit X-rays, including sterilization devices, medical devices and radiography equipment. X-rays are generated when electrons are accelerated and hit a metal target. The energy of the emitted X-rays depends on various machine settings and upon the degree of filtration. Time, distance and shielding can be used to reduce unwanted dose to employees. Filtration and adjustment of settings can be used to reduce dose to patients. Filtration is used to remove low energy X-rays that would otherwise give dose that is not useful in imaging. Various other adjustments that influence dose are discussed in the video.
