RADT 456 Img Acq & E

ARRT registry review covering image acquisition & evaluation

QuestionAnswer
What is another name for projection radiography or traditional radiography? Screen-film (SF) imaging; Pg. 297
4 details that image quality consists of: image density, contrast or gray scale, recorded detail, and distortion; Pg. 298
The exposure/technical factors we use to create the image are what? Milliamperage (mA), exposure time (s), kilovoltage (kV), and SID; Pg. 298
List all of the geometric factors. OID, SID, Focal Spot Size, Distortion, Structural position and shape, and motion; Pg. 298
What term refers to the clarity, resolution, with which anatomic structures are represented in the x-ray image? Recorded detail; Pg. 298
T/F: Geometrically recorded detail improves as OID decreases. True; Pg. 301
T/F: Geometrically recorded detail improves as SID increases. True; Pg. 301
T/F: An object will be foreshortened if a linear stucture is angled within the body, that is, not parallel with the long axis of the part/body and not parallel to the IR, that anatomic structure will appear smaller. True; Pg. 303
What occurs when the x-ray tube is angled? Elongation; Pg. 303
What three terms refer to the unsharpness around image details? Focal spot blur, geometric unsharpness, edge gradient; Pg. 305
What, such as peristaltic activity, muscle spasms, and heart action, cannot be controlled by the patient? Involuntary motion; Pg. 309
What is occasionally used to blur out unwanted structures so that the area of interest can be seen to better advantage? Deliberate motion; Pg. 310
What percent of the exposure received by the film emulsion is from fluorescent light emitted by intensifying screen phosphors? 98%; Pg. 311
T/F: Phosphors with low atmoic number react to x-ray photons more efficiently and possess greater speed. False; *high atomic number; Pg. 312
T/F: Factors affecting density and contrast in SF imaging have little to no effect on similar characteristics seen in digital x-ray images. True; Pg. 314
T/F: As the distance between the x-ray tube and the IR increases, exposure rate decreases according to the inverse square law. True; Pg. 318
What amplifies the effect of x-rays on film emulsion by means of fluorescence. Intensifying screens; Pg. 321
What are the two kinds of grids made? Stationary and moving; Pg. 323
T/F: Balancing uneven tissue densities is less problematic in digital imaging. True; Pg. 330
As changes are made in the size of the irradiation field, an accompanying change in ___ is require to maintain the same image density. mAs; Pg. 336
T/F: Factors affecting density and contrast in SF imaging have little to no effect on similar characteristics seen in digital x-ray images. True; Pg. 339
The function of what is to make image details visible. Contast Scale; Pg. 340
T/F: As the size of the x-ray field is recuced, there is less area and tissue volume for scattered radiation to be generated. True; Pg. 344
In radiography, what two terms are used to describe what image quality is? Recorded detail and detail visibility; Pg. 354
As matrix size increases, for a fixed FOV, pixel size is ___ and better image resolution results. Smaller; Pg. 355
If an IP and its PSP storage plate has been stored, unused, for an extended period of time, such as ____ hours, the PSP storage plate should be erased prior to use. 48 Hours; Pg. 361
What offers wide dynamic range and automatic optimization of the radiologic image? CR; Pg. 364
What must be appropriate for the type of film used, bright enough to provide adequate illumination, but must not expose the sensitive emulsions. Safelight illumination; Pg. 382
What follows the processor developer, fixer, and wash tanks? Dryer; Pg. 385
The PSP layer can store its latent image for several hours; however, after approximately ___ hours, noticeable image fading will occur. 8; Pg. 391
What uses solid-state dectector plates as the x-ray image receptor to inercept the x-ray beam? DR; Pg. 405
What are two examples of handling artifacts? Scratches and dust; Pg. 419

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.
