01 · Generator & tube
X-Ray Circuit Trainer
Press a two-position hand switch and watch the circuit energize, from the autotransformer to the rotating anode.
- Autotransformer, step-up, rectifier, filament circuit
- Real tube photo with rotor and electron cloud
- A hand radiograph forms as you expose
02 · Physics
EM Spectrum Explorer
Tune from radio to gamma with linked frequency, wavelength and energy, and see what each photon does to an atom.
- Ionization boundary at 100 nm
- Wave–particle duality and intensity
- Photoelectric, Compton, pair production
03 · Beam
X-Ray Production Lab
Electrons hit the target and make heat, bremsstrahlung and characteristic x-rays. The spectrum and the patient respond live.
- kVp, mA, target, generator, filtration
- HVL, mean energy, characteristic share
- Interactions in fat, tissue, bone, iodine
04 · Scatter control
Grid Lab
Choose grid ratio, frequency and type, then cause and fix every grid error on real radiographs.
- Off-level, off-center, off-focus, upside-down
- Bucky factor and contrast improvement
- Moving vs. stationary grids
05 · Quality control
QA/QC Lab
Run 15 QC tests in a virtual room, record results in a QC log, and find the hidden faults in an audit room.
- kVp, timer, linearity, reproducibility, HVL
- Collimation, alignment, focal spot, processor
- Detector, monitor and lead apron checks
