RADT 465 IA and Eval

ARRT REGISTRY REVIEW image acquisition and evaluation

QuestionAnswer
In digital imaging pixel size is determined by? Dividing the field of view by the matrix
The greater the number of bits The more shades of gray
Number of photons in the x-ray beam is? Beam intensity
True or False: CR systems convert x-ray photons into useful information much more efficiently than film-screen systems? True
True or False: photon energy is directly related to wavelenght? False
Grid ratio Defined as the height of the lead strips to the width of the interspace material
Would you have to increase or decrease technique for these pathologic conditions Paget, ascites, atelectasis? Increase
Scatter radiation can be minimized by? Use optimal kilovoltage
The radiographer can manipulate digital images displayed on the CRT through Postprocessing
Radiographic contrast Degree of difference between adjacent densities
Shape distortion is caused by Improper alignment of the tube, part, and IR
Flat-panel detectors use two different types of image capture Indirect and direct
Pixel Two-dimensional picture element measured in XY
Focal spot size selected determines Amount of focal-spot or geometric blur produced in image
Milliampere-second formula mA×s=mAs
Each of the three is included in a good QA program Beam alignment, reproducibility, linearity
Milliampere-seconds value regulates the number of x-ray photons produced at target and thus? Regulates patient dose
As kilovoltage is increased A greater number of electrons are driven across to the anode with greater force.
Absorption When x-ray photon interacts with matter and disappears as in the photoelectric effect
Electromagnetic radiation Described as wave-like fluctuatiins of electric and magnetic fields

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
