Image Production

Boards Misc

QuestionAnswer
Seperately analyze ROI when more than one exposure is made Exposure field recognition, partition pattern recognition , segmentation
Failure of exposure field recognition poor overlapping, poor collimation, scatter,
Narrow Histogram (contrast) Long scale contrast, more grays, low contrast
Wide Histogram (Contrast) Short scale contrast, more black and whites, high contrast
APR Anatomically Programmed Radiography
Anatomically programmed radiography Selects processing algorithm, selecting anatomic part and particular projection on control panel. Histogram
Look up Tabel (LUT) Characteristeic Curve, Each of their tonal values and their distribution in the x-ray image
Rate at which electrons flow Amperage
Where should compression paddles be applied Distal ends of ureters
Absorbed dose measured in Gray
Preferred Fluoro technique High kVp, low mAs
What must be included on a radiographic image Patient name, DOB, exam date, facility, Right or left marker
To eject a k-shell electron from the tungsten atom, the incoming electron must have an energy of at least 70 keV
kV settings must be tested annually and must be accurate to within +/- 4 keV
What feature is used to display RIS information on currentn patients Modality Worklist
What are the two interactions at the anode Brems and Characteristic
Bundles of energy photon
Size of wavelength of x-ray Angstrom 10^(-10) m
Primary beam from x-ray tube focal spot
Photoelectric effect High or low energy Low energy (low kV)
Compton Scatter High or low energy High energy (high kV)
Which interaction does no ionization occur Coherent Scatter
Another name for Coherent Scatter Unmodified scatter, Classical Scatter
Which interaction ejects an outer shell electron Compton Scatter
Which scatter poses little risk to patient Compton Scatter- image fog
Interaction with matter that is responsible for the majority of scatter radiation reaching IR Compton Scatter
Step up transformer turns ration High:low Greater the ratio, greater the voltage increase
Fixed ratio transformer Autotransformer
Self induction Autotransformer
Mutual induction Step-up, step-down
How does autotransformer work Sends correct amount of voltage to the primary coil of the high-voltage transformmer to be stepped up to required kV level
Where is rectification system located between the secondary coil of high-voltage transormer and x-ray tube
Solid-state diodes Rectifiers, semiconductive materials, Silicon, selenium or germanium. Conduct electricity only in one direction
Air within glass envelope of tube Gassy tube- cause oxidation and burn out of cathode filament
Tungsten atomic number 74
Material of filament tungsten
material of anode Tungsten (and Rhenium) Rhenium prevents pitting
rotation speed of induction motor 3600-10,000 rpms
Blooming high mA, focal spot can become hot enough to temporarily grow in size, deminishing resolution
QC Collimator accuracy 2% SID
Combination greatest heat-loading capability small target angle, larger actual focal spot
Which portion of x-ray beam is the effective focal spot the smallest anode end
What x-ray tube components is not located within the glass envelope stator
Accuracy of the timer must be within 5% of the time chosen for exposures over 100 ms
Resolution of the television system may be measured using Resolution test pattern
AECs may be tested using phantoms
The mA used for analog fluoroscopy is 3-5
Marks on the focal track of the anode resulting from bombardment of electrons Pitting
Effective quality control and quality assurance programs are required for accreditation The Joint Commission
Receptor exposure may be defined as Dose area Product
Receptor exposure was formerly called Density
Active portion of a CR IP PSP Photostimulable phosphor
Visible differences in adjacent structures on a radiograph contrast resolution
The primary controlling factor of contrast are kVp and bit depth
Function of the slit camera Measure focal spot size
kV selection in digital imaging has an effect on photon energy and penetration (image contrast is not primary for digital)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
