Tomography and mobile
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the principal advantage of tomography | improved image contrast |
| what is the fulcrum | pivot point around the motion of the tube and the IR |
| is tomography dynamic or static process | dynamic |
| is the exposure angle to thickness a inverse or direct relationship | inverse |
| OID increases, blur _________, OID decreases blur _________ | increases decreases |
| exposure amplitude and slice are _________ related | reversely related |
| what kind of imaging is tomography | imaging by section |
| when was tomography developed | 1921 |
| exposure amplitude and blur are __________related | directly |
| when there is a _______ distance from fulcrum than a ______ blur will occur | large large |
| what % in change is minimal to provide a visible difference | 4% |
| what are the types of motion | linear curvilinear |
| what is blur affected by | exposure amplitude distance from fulcrum distance from IR (OID) orientation of tube motion |
| where is the focal plane | plane where the anatomy of interest is located |
| what is the phantom image | blur edges or blur margins |
| what is section thickness | width of focal plane controlled by exposure arc/angle |
| define linear motion | moving along a straight line |
| define curvilinear | linear direction of motion |
| what are some problems with linear movement | constant fluctuation of SID and OID structure parallel to motion are not as blurred arc/or angle is limited to 48º deduction distortion |
| what is the pros of curvilinear | maintains SID and OID and reduced magnification differences |
| what are the pros of digital tomosynthesis | images manipulated by post acquisition algorithm instead of producing additional images |
| how many images are required for reprocess in tomography | 10 |
| what will determine how much tissue is visualized | thickness |
| true or false tomography is used to localize object from super imposition | true |
| how many seconds are required for exposure in tomography | 3-6 seconds |
| what will happen with too short of exposure in tomography | full blurring will not occur |
| what will happen with to long of exposure | density will increase |
| how can you eliminate scatter | tight collimnation parallel grids and grid lines in same direction as tube motion |
| what is zonography | narrow angle tomography |
| narrow exposure tomography exposure amplitude is less than | 10º usually 5-10º |
| what is wide angle tomography | when exposure amplitude is greater then 10º usually 30-50 |
| narrow angle tomography has ________ ________ but ________ _________ because of thickness | reasonable contrast poor detail |
| wide angle tomography has ________ ________ but ________ _________ because of thickness | low contrast fair recorded detail |
| what is the principal disadvantage for tomography | increase pt dose |
| tomography is a technique that employees what kind of motion | synchronous motion with the CR and IR |
| tomography primarily demonstrates which section | coronal |
| the chest is best proformed in what position | erect |
| how many lead aprons should be on the mobile machine | 2 you and pt |
| what are the radiation protection consideration | time shield distance |
| what are complex types of motion | linear circle elliptical figure 8 hypocycloidal trispiral |
