GLOSSARY (continued)
X-ray device operator: An individual designated in writing by the X-ray-device custodian and qualified
by training and experience to operate a specific X-ray device.
X-ray diffraction: The scattering of X-rays by matter with accompanying variation in intensity in
different directions due to interference effects.
X-ray installation: One or more X-ray systems, the surrounding room or controlled area, and the
installation enclosure.
X-ray power supply: The portion of an X-ray device that generates the accelerating voltage and current
for the X-ray tube.
X-ray source housing: An enclosure directly surrounding an X-ray tube that provides attenuation of the
radiation emitted by the X-ray tube. The X-ray source housing typically has an aperture through which the
useful beam is transmitted.
X-ray system: An assemblage of components for the controlled generation of X-rays.
X-ray tube: An electron tube that is designed for the conversion of electrical energy to X-ray energy.
X-ray tube assembly: An array of components typically including the cathode, anode, X-ray target, and
electron-accelerating components within a vacuum.
