What is focal spot? andWhat is effective focal spot ?

The smaller the beam towards the patient
The better the detail of image produced

FOCAL-SPOT BLURDependent on the size of the effective focal spotSmaller the effective focal spot results in:
• less Blur and •better spatial resolution
Focal spot Blur is the most important factor in determining spatial resolution

Smaller x-ray beam width will produce a sharper imageFine detail = small focal spot ( for small parts of the body )General radiography of large areas uses large focal spot
Experiment and compare between beam from a penlight with a beam from a flood light

Focal-Spot Blur is caused by the effective size of the focal spot, which is larger towards the cathode side of the image
Anode cathode

Focal Spot Blur is smaller when the OID is smaller

OBJECT SHAPEObjects with structures coincide (aligned) with the x-ray beam has maximum detail
