Quizplus · Accepted Answer

X-rays exit the x-ray tube through the tube port and travel towards the patient, where they are attenuated, absorbed, or scattered, and then they may continue their path to the image receptor system to create a radiographic image. The tube housing contains the x-ray tube and helps to prevent stray radiation from escaping, and the patient and image receptor system do not provide an exit path for x-rays leaving the x-ray tube.
