Anode Heel Effect Part 2 Anatomy Advantage

[@rune9055]

What I find hard is, is how to identify which side is the cathode, when some families are not identified in their x-tube, including their portables.

It should be labeled with a plus or minus sticker

​@@meaghanpiretti7340 It makes sense but i'm just confused because i've never seen a tech lay a patient down to make sure they always have the thicker part of the anatomy under the cathode.

The fat cat helps me remember that the thick part goes under the CAThode

I’m struggling to imagine how this looks on the actual tube especially when considering increasing the angle the diagrams help understand what’s happening just not what it looks like on a real tube

[@meaghanpiretti7340]

You can't see this on the tube! It occurs inside.

If I knew which side was the anode vs the cathode from looking outside of the tube, I would use this in a clinical scenario lol. Our tubes aren’t labeled.

[@meaghanpiretti7340]

There is no plus or minus sticker on your tube? I thought that was a requirement.
