Question
Answer
measurement of the luminance of a monitor calibrated in units of candela per square meter on monitor or soft copy   brightness  
🗑
density differences   contrast  
🗑
picture element   pixel  
🗑
controls number of shades of gray that can be visualized -formula=2 to the nth(n=number of bits)   bit depth  
🗑
what can bit depth be limited by   dynamic range & quantization  
🗑
range of exposures that may be captured by a detector   dynamic range  
🗑
bits per pixel   quantization  
🗑
step by step procedure for software function   algorithm  
🗑
what are the steps of digitization   *scan-divides analog image into an array of pixels *sampling-measures brightness level of each pixel using a photo multiplier tube *quantization-brightness levels are assigned a number gray scale value  
🗑
PMT   (photo multiplier tube)-converts low level of light to higher level or A-D)  
🗑
rows and columns of pixels   matrix  
🗑
the sharpness of structural edges recorded in the image   spatial resolution  
🗑
what factors is spatial resolution dependent upon   *pixel/matrix size *pixel pitch *bit depth  
🗑
space from center of a pixel to center of the adjacent pixel   pixel pitch  
🗑
number of pixels/mm   pixel density  
🗑
range of exposures which produces optimal image with appropriate dose *since range is wider with digital radiography this can lead to dose creep   exposure latitude  
🗑
PACS   picture archiving communication system  
🗑
what methods of storage are used with digital images   *hard drive *dvd/cd *hologram *down-time flash drive  
🗑
RAID   redundant array of inexpensive discs -(jukebox)hard drive used to archive digital images  
🗑
hard drive used to archive digital images   optical laser disc drive  
🗑
what two type of computer monitors are used   *LCD(liquid crystal display) *CRT(cathode ray tube)  
🗑
what is the PACS system used at Halifax   DR-dominator radiology  
🗑
*no loss of information *3:1 compression ratio   lossless compression  
🗑
*some loss of information, but likely not noticeable *5:1 ratio   nearly lossless compression  
🗑
*suitable to send images over low bandwidth network *lossy wavelength compression alters minute details to reduce compressed image size *10:1 - 100:1 ratio   lossy high quality compression  
🗑
*most compressed and fastest working *gray scale reduced to about 256 shades of gray *similar to jpeg images   lossy medium quality compression  
🗑
hard copy images from digital data   laser film  
🗑
used to burn digial images on to disc for patients   cd/dvd burner  
🗑
RIS   radiology information system(PACS)  
🗑
HIS   hospital information system(meditech)  
🗑
LUT   (look up table) *term used for image that is initially displayed after aquisition  
🗑
DICOM   (digital imaging and communication in midicine) *for imaging systems to transfer images  
🗑
*must be met for HIS to transmit information and populate patient data in RIS   HL7 (health level 7)  
🗑
FOV   pixel/matrix size *CR is variable *DR is not variable  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
