ime The principles of pr Sinan Kray Ube, and operation of an X-ray tube are not required. 7 (a) electrons accelerated / high speed electrons bombard metal target electrons decelerated greatly —> e.m. radiation wide range of decelerations gives continuous spectrum electrons in target atoms excited de-excitation of these electrons gives line spectrum contrast: difference in blackening between structures413 Outline the principles of computed tomography (GT scanning). 43. X-ray image of a (single) slice/cross-section (through the patient) M1 taken from different angles/rotating X-ray (beam) Al ‘computer is used to form/process/build up/store image 81 2D image (of the slice) Bi repeated for many/different (neighbouring) slices. M4 ‘to build up 3D image AL (6 11 (a) Distinguish between the images produced by CT scanning and X-ray imaging. 41 (a) CT image: (thin) slice (through structure) any further detail e.g. built up from many ‘slices’ / 3-D image X-ray image: ‘shadow’ image (of whole structure) / 2-D image (b) By reference to the principles of CT scanning, suggest why CT scanning could not be developed before powerful computers were available. (b) X-ray image of slice taken from many different angles (1) these images are combined (and processed) (1) for many different slices (1) to build up a 3-D image (1) 3-D image can be rotated (1) ‘computer required to store and process huge quantity of data (1) {any five, 1 each to max 5) BS
