Digital Imaging/PACS

TFT Flat-Panel Array Image Acquisition

TermDefinition
AMFPI Active-matrix flat-panel imagers
AMFPI flat-panel array with an x-ray absorption material
direct conversion x-ray photons absorbed by photoconductor, a-Se; converted to electrical signal
FET Field effect transistor
FET isolates each pixel element; reacts like switch to send electrical charges to image processor
FPD Flat-panel detector
FPD photoconductor holds surface charge until read by TFT
TFT Thin-film transistor
Gd2O2S Gadolinium Oxysulphide
Gd2O2S unstructured phosphor array; rapidly absorbs x-rays & produces light;
Gain calibration Flat-fielding
Flat-fielding gain calibration; process for removal unwanted densities
gain calibration removes densities that interfer with diagnostic image information
a-Si:H Hydrogenated amorphous silicon
a-Si:H photodiode array photoconductor
scintillators structured or unstructured phosphor arrays that emit light when stimulated by x-rays
CsI scintillator used with amorphous silicon detector; crystalline needles act as light directing tubes; structured scintillator
Artifacts malfunctioning or dead pixels

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.
