Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central beam that comes from the x-ray tube head is the primary radiation, which is the most penetrating and carries the highest energy. The secondary radiation is created when the primary radiation interacts with the patient's body tissues, and scatter radiation is created when the primary radiation strikes an object and bounces off in different directions. None of the above implies that there is not a correct answer, but in this case, A) primary is the correct answer.
