CR vs Flat Panel Detectors
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Factors of CR | Introduced in 1983 stored images on phosphor plates, involved cassette and cassette reader, viewing station and/or printer |
| Direct and Indirect Capture vs Inversion | Direct is no light layer to convert, Indirect process involves conversion of a light layer |
| Computed Radiography (Indirect)(Inversion and Capture) | Changes energy to light using photostimulable plates ; Photo diode transfers photons to electrons |
| Digital Radiography (direct or indirect) | Computer chips convert light into electrons or morphus selenium in IR converts directly into electrons (no light layer step) |
| What happens to photosimulable phospor plate (CR) in cassette reader? | Laser runs overtop of PCP calming down excited electrons (transmitted photons) which gives off light that is read in a photomultiplier tube |
| What is used as an accelerated technique to return electrons to a calmed state? | Infrared Light |
| What indirect conversion occurs in Digital radiography? | X-rays are converted into light, CCD or thin film transistor converts light into electric signals (electrons) |
| Window level adjusts what? | Brightness |
| Window width adjusts what? | Contrast |
| PACS | Picture archiving computed system |
| DICOM | networked group, can be from different modalities, archives and stores them (serves as the file room) |
