atom
CTM (Ceiling Tube Mount) Most common tube suspension system with only
two sets of rails mounted overhead in the x-ray
room
Tube Filtration Recommended for tubes with a maximum kV over
70kV is 2.5 mm aluminum equivalency
kV Technical factor that controls the strength of
radiation emitted by the x-ray tube
mA Technical factor that controls the amount of
radiation emitted by the x-ray tube
