About this document
Fundamentals of Radiation Physics by Zuhra Jabeen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the physics of radiation used in diagnostic imaging. It covers: 1) The structure of atoms including the nucleus, electrons, isotopes, and electron shells. 2) Electromagnetic radiation including x-rays and gamma rays. X-rays are produced when high voltage accelerates electrons that then collide with an anode in an x-ray tube. 3) Key radiation concepts like wavelength, frequency, photon energy, and the inverse square law governing intensity over distance.
