Question

you have already spent a considerable amount of time in this course exploring grids and x-ray accessories as well as photon interactions during the x-ray process. In this assignment, you will need to extend that knowledge.

Create a PowerPoint presentation that a radiologic technology instructor could use to teach their class about which x-ray accessories affect image formation/quality and explain how they do so. Write the slide content using language that would be appropriate for a radiologic technology student audience.

Your PowerPoint presentation will need to:

Contain 10-15 slides (not including the Title and References slides).
Be written using proper spelling/grammar and at a level that would be appropriate for a radiologic technology student audience.
Identifyat least 3different x-ray accessories that affect image formation and/or image quality (e.g., grids).
Explain how each of the x-ray accessories can be used to improve the radiographic image.
Include a References slide containing APA formatted citations for any sources you used.

X-RAY ACCESSORIES
Importance of X-ray Accessories
X-ray accessories are as important as X-ray devices
They facilitate delivery of clear image
They hold the device in position
They increase the focus of the X-ray
They ensure safe handling
They help to control the amount of exposure
Some important accessories
Many accessories are used with X-ray devices. Some of these are-
Grids
Collimators 
Intensifying screens
Grids
Grids are strips made of lead that are placed between a patient and the X-ray device to control the scattered radiations.
Grids are placed perpendicular to x-ray beams aligned side by side. There is radiolucent spaces between the grids. (Bushong, 2013)
Grids- Purpose
Grids are used to shield scattered rays
They allow the passage of only primary x-ray beams
They stop the secondary radiations by absorbing them.
They thus improve the image quality
They help in adding detail by providing better focus on the required parts.
Grid- Types
Focussed grids- Most grids are focussed. They are angled usually only slightly to provide focus.
Parallel grid: These grids are used when x-rays are focussed over long distances or short fields.
Moving grids:
