Energy associated with any radiation can be transferred to matter. This transfer of energy can remove electrons from the orbit of atoms
leading to the formation of ions

X-rays and gamma rays do not
differ except in the source. Gamma
rays are produced intranuclearly,
and x-rays are produced
extranuclearly (i.e., mechanically).

IONIZING RADIATION
Rajat Jain
Major Sources of ionizing radiation include Most nuclear processes (e.g., nuclear
fission, nuclear fusion, radioactive decay),
X-ray equipment, high-energy physics experiments, and Background radiation.
Rajat Jain
All human beings are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation.
Environmental sources include the cosmic radiation from space and radiation from the ground and from inhaled and ingested materials.
Airline travel and mining both increase exposure to the background radiation.
Radiation originating in the body comes mainly from radioactive potassium, which emits beta and gamma rays.
Cosmic exposure contributes 28 mrem per year. The ground and internal sources contribute 26 and 27 mrem
per year, respectively.

X-RAY TUBE
PARTS OF X RAY TUBE
1) Glass Envelope 2) Cathode Filament Supporting wires Focusing cup 3) Anode Stationary Rotating
Rajat Jain
Tube Housing - Made of cast steel - Contained in a glass envelope (Pyrex) - Concept of target window
Cathode - Made up of the filament (s) (Tungsten) and a focusing cup. - Addition of Thorium to the filament Anode - Target (Tungsten – rhenium alloy) - Tungsten has: High atomic number (74), thermal conductivity level & melting point
Rajat Jain
When kVp increases - X-ray penetration increases, exposure increases (darker film) and contrast goes down.
Maximum energy as well as number of x-rays increased.
Film contrast - primarily dependent on kV. Increasing mAs - increased film exposure
(more x-rays produced), which darkens the film.
Maximum energy of x-rays - NOT changed. Rajat Jain

may all be considered equal , because the energy
deposited in soft tissues by 1 R of exposure is only 5%

QUESTION True among the following?
“Figure of 8” heart: Infracardiac TAPVC
“Sitting-duck” heart: Tricuspid atresia
“Box-shaped” heart: Infracardiac TAPVC
“Globular” heart with plethoric lung fields: TGV
Rajat Jain
TGV
Rajat Jain
TGV Normally, aorta is anterior to & at the right of PA In TGA, PA is to the right of its normal location
and obscured by aorta on chest X-ray This malposition+stress-induced thymic atrophy
+hyperinflated lungs = apparent narrowing of the superior mediastinum (most consistent sign of TGA)
CV silhouette enlarged and globular – “egg on a string”
Pulmonary flow - increases with closure of the ductus arteriosus.

MUGA Multiple gated acquisition scan is a method of
assessing EF. Also assesses LV wall motion & cardiac muscle
damage. Injecting RBCs, radiolabeled with Tc99, into the
patient's bloodstream & recording the emissions with a gamma camera.
Asses and follow cardiac function in patients on adriamycin.
Detects early changes in cardiac function that might easily be missed by other techniques, such as the echocardiogram.

Explanation Thallium Stress Testing
What is this?
When is thallium stress testing the answer?
When is it the wrong answer?
What is the alternative choice?
Rajat Jain
Thallium/Persantine Thallium Test Most accurate method of assessing myocardial
perfusion without an angiography.
Thallium-labeled RBCs are injected into the patient's blood-stream.
Provides a view of the blood flow into heart muscle.
Rajat Jain
Thallium Test Indications
- when resting EKG changes make exercise EKG difficult to interpret
- to localize the region of ischemia
- to assess revascularization following bypass or angioplasty.
- History of chest pain - not certain if it is ischemic in nature (equivocal cases).
