After 14 years of learning in the dental field (BDS+ master's + PhD degree), this is my first time understanding what is happening inside that x-ray machine!
You are my man!
keep it up!

BRO DONT STOP THIS PLEASE I JUST LEARNED IN THIS VIDEO THE THING IVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS
😍

I am really fortunate and grateful to see this video. The video simplified the topic with effective video and great explanation with fluence sentences.

[@rangerofthenorth2850]

This is straight to the point and easy to digest. Thank you.

[@shouvikdam2342]

Too much valuable video, Thank you...

[@valentinaart6750]

this was super helpful!

I finally understand how x-rays work. Watching it was more efficient than looking at a wall and having an existential crisis because of trying to understand how those work (I’ve spent like an hour trying to understand it before watching the video).
Thank you, Clover Learning (especially the narrator lol 🦄✨)

So that’s a 2 hour lecture in less than 5 mins.

[@andreleander2051]

my thoughts the same, this was so clear. Professors will find a way to make it much more complicated than it needs to be. Radiology physics books also over complicate this topic.

@@andreleander2051 I think people who believe that they are intelligent stroke their egos by explaining simple things in the most complicated ways. The truly intelligent people make THE most complicated things SO simple.

@@andreleander2051 I find that most university lectures get an ego boost by explaining content in confusing and complicated ways. It’s said that truly intelligent people can explain very complex things in simple ways. This video is a great example of that 👍

I want to see the look on my professor face after he sees that a 5 min video explanation is better than his 1 hour lecture

[@deborahorina9916]

Thank you, so good

Thank you sir 😊

Has anyone used clover leaning for radiology and can give me their review if it was helpful.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🌟 *X-ray Production Principles*
- Introduction to the main principles of X-ray production.
- Three requirements of X-ray production: source of electrons, means of accelerating electrons, means of decelerating electrons.
00:30 🔍 *Thermionic Emission and Electron Acceleration*
- Explanation of thermionic emission as the process of releasing electrons in response to heat.
- Description of electron acceleration through the application of electrical voltage (kVp).
- Role of kVp in creating a strong negative charge in the filament and accelerating electrons towards the positively charged anode.
01:58 🔄 *Deceleration of Electrons and X-Ray Production*
- Overview of the final step in X-ray production: decelerating electrons at the anode.
- Description of the process where highly energetic electrons release energy as heat and X-rays upon hitting the anode.
- Control of X-ray quantity and energy by the operator using mA, kVp, and exposure time.
03:24 📊 *Influence of mA, kVp, and Exposure Time*
- Impact of mA on increasing the number of electrons and photons in the X-ray tube, affecting intensity or quantity of X-rays.
- Explanation of how increasing kVp enhances both the number and energy of X-rays produced, influencing beam quality.
- Role of exposure time in increasing the total number of X-ray photons created, analogous to the production of rainbows by unicorns eating Skittles.

I just took a mock boards for xray school and did horrible in image production. I am so nervous about taking the boards in 8 months.

radiography 101 is so much clearer now

Thanks ! Saved me from watching an hour long lecture .
