Higher frequency of pulses to the high tension supply of an x-ray generator results in the spectrum of the x-ray beam being narrowed, potentially lowering of patient dose . The exposure timing can be more precise with and short with near constant potential wave form.20 Haz 2019

What are medical x-rays? X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation , similar to visible light. Unlike light, however, x-rays have higher energy and can pass through most objects, including the body. Medical x-rays are used to generate images of tissues and structures inside the body.
Read moreAre X-rays high or low frequency?
X-ray, electromagnetic radiation of extremely short wavelength and high frequency , with wavelengths ranging from about 10−8 to 10−12 metre and corresponding frequencies from about 1016 to 1020 hertz (Hz).

Read moreDo x-rays have a high wavelength?
X-rays have smaller wavelengths and therefore higher energy. We usually talk about X-rays in terms of their energy rather than wavelength. This is partially because X-rays have very small wavelengths! X-rays were first discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German scientist who found them quite by accident.
