X-rays represent a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by the Xx-ray tube, using the high voltage to accelerate the electrons produced by the the cathode. The produced electrons interact with the anode, thus producing Xx-rays. The Xx-rays produced include Bremsstrahlung and the characteristic radiation for the anode element.
X-rays can interact with matter by the following:
- photoelectric effect
- Compton scattering
- Rayleigh or classical scattering
- pair production (not possible in the diagnostic radiology range)
- ionization
