Photoelectric Effect - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back. This video is about photoelectric absorption, otherwise called photoelectric effect. In diagnostic imaging, all things consider There are four specific things that can happen when a photon enters the body. There's transmission when the photon does not interact with the atoms in the body and just transmits to the image receptor. There's also photoelectric absorption, sometimes called photoelectric effect. There's also two types of scattering, coherence scattering, sometimes called classical scattering, and compton scattering, sometimes called incoherent scattering, In this lesson, we're talking about photoelectric absorption, an important type of photon interaction in the body. Photoelectric absorption is exactly what it sounds like. If you understand the name, you will understand what it is. The process starts when a
