RAD107 chapter 11&12

RAD 107 week 2

QuestionAnswer
Which of the following is the principal source of noise on a radiographic image? Scatter radiation
What are the principal characteristics of any medical image? Contrast resolution, noise, artifacts, and spatial resolution
Which of the following are considered a source of image noise in computed radiography? Inadequate sampling
Which sequence of events is correct concerning the production of a PSL signal? Expose, stimulate, read, erase
What takes place during the stimulate step in the production of a PSL signal? The latent image is stimulated from the interactions of an infrared laser beam with the PSP.
What takes place during the expose step in the production of a PSL signal? An energy transfer results from the excitation of electrons into a metastable state.
What takes place during the read step in the production of a PSL signal? The emitted light signal is detected and measured.
Which of the following material(s) is/are considered photostimulable? Barium fluorohalide
What takes place during the erase step in the production of a PSL signal? Residual metastable electrons are moved to the ground state by an intense light.

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.
