Industry:Medical devices
The propagation of energy through space or matter. In radiology, radiation can be divided into two main groups: charged particles (electrons, protons, etc. ) and electromagnetic (x-rays, gamma rays, etc. ). The propagation of energy through space or matter. In radiology, radiation can be divided into two main groups: charged particles (electrons, protons, for example) and electromagnetic (photons, X-rays, gamma rays, for example).
Industry:Medical devices
Metal (piece of lead with rectangular hole) that is positioned in front of the kV source, after the beam has passed through the kV beam target, and used to shape the kV beam and limit its maximum field size. This lead aperture defines the maximum opening for the X-ray beam being emitted from exit window of the X-ray tube. See also kV collimator.
Industry:Medical devices
The set of console and machine position settings and the setup note (if any) for a treatment field. See also treatment plan. A collection of zero or more beams which can be treatment fields, setup fields, port films, and portal images. The treatment of a plan delivers a fraction of the treatment of a course of treatment. A session can contain one or more plans.
