| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the main image characteristic of Digital Radiographic Tomosynthesis (DRT) | Image contrast |
| Why is image contrast important in DRT? | It improves visualization of structures at different depths and enhances diagnostic accuracy. |
| What role does the X-ray source play in DRT? | It moves during image acquisition to capture multiple projections from different angles. |
| What are the two X-ray tube motion methods used in DRT? | Continuous sweep and step-and-shoot |
| What is a continuous sweep in DRT? | The X-ray tube moves smoothly while acquiring multiple projections. |
| What is step-and-shoot motion in DRT? | The X-ray tube stops at fixed angles to acquire individual projections. |
| What is the sweep angle in DRT? | The angular range over which the X-ray tube moves during image acquisition. |
| What are projections in DRT? | Multiple low-dose images acquired at different angles used for image reconstruction |
| Why was DRT not possible before digital image receptors? | Film-screen systems could not rapidly acquire and process multiple projections |
| What type of image receptor is required for DRT? | A digital image receptor |
| What is image reconstruction in DRT? | The process of creating sectional images from multiple projections. |
| What is CAD in DRT? | Computer-Aided Detection |
| How is CAD related to artificial intelligence | CAD is an early application of AI used to assist in detecting abnormalities. |
| Does DRT have unique artifacts? | Yes |
| What are the two main artifacts in DRT? | Blurred-ripple and truncation artifacts |
