Question

_____________(kinetic energy released in matter) specifies the intensity of x-rays at a given point in air at a known distance from the focal spot or source of x-rays, and the cumulative or total ___________(same word) will be monitored during the fluoroscopic procedure

Answer 1

Answer:

Air kerma

Explanation:

The acronym for the word 'kerma' is $\text{"kinetic energy released per unit mass"}$. It is the sum or the total of the kinetic energies of the $\text{charged particles}$ that is liberated by the uncharged ionizing radiation in the small sample of a matter, and is divided by the mass of that sample.

It is sometimes used for expressing the radiation concentration that is delivered to a point.

It is used to specify the intensity of the x-rays for any given point in the air at some known distance form the local spot. The total air kerma can be monitored in the fluoroscopic procedure.
