Title: Compare the primary interactions of X-rays with matter.
Course: Radiologic Technology II (14105-II) > Section: Exploring Radiologic Physics

Comparison should address the differences and similarities among

- the Compton effect
- photoelectric absorption and attenuation
- coherent scatter
- photodisintegration
- pair production.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between attenuation and absorption?
- What causes scatter radiation?
- How can scatter radiation be reduced?
