This is human based, but the principles are the same. There are a number of sources of the periodic table, and it is worth finding a copy and looking at all of the elements used in radiography, where they sit within the table and what properties they exhibit. This will help to identify why they are selected for the specific use.

How to look after your X-ray tube Extension of the tube filament life r Careful selection of mA: Consistent use of a very high mA will eventually damage the filament. r Minimising ‘prepare’ time: When the X-ray tube is in the ‘prepare stage’, the filament is supplied with a higher current that will evaporate the tungsten. r Minimise careless and rough handling of the tube to protect the filament. Prevention of damage to the anode r Always remember to warm up your tube with gradually increasing exposure factors before an examination requiring very high exposures is performed.
Elements in Group VIII are called the noble gases. These do not react with other elements easily. By convention, the periodic table will show the atomic mass and atomic number of every element. 2). Using the periodic table, the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom can be calculated. 2 63 Atomic number Z Cu Element symbol 29 Mass number A 29 Single unit from the periodic table (copper). Proton or atomic number Symbol: Z The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
