RAD107 Week 12 Exam
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| DRT | Digital Radiographic Tomosynthesis |
| X-ray tube motion | Continuous sweep and step and shoot are the two methods to produce a DRT image |
| CAD | Computer aided detection |
| DRT artifacts | Has its own artifacts -blurred ripple and truncation |
| 1st Gen CT | translate and rotate, pencil beam,single detector, 5 minute imaging time. |
| 2nd Gen CT | translate and totate, fan beam,detector array, 30 second imaging time |
| 3rd Gen CT | rotate and rotate,fan beam , detector array, subsecond imaging time, |
| 4th Gen CT | rotate and stationary , fan beam,detector array, subsecond imaging time |
| Interpolar algorithims | Linear interpolation at 180 degrees improves z-axis resolution |
| Operating console | two or more monitors |
| Computer | Microprocessor and primary memory |
| Gantry | x-ray tube, detector array, collimation , HV generator, table |
| Spatial resolution | A low spatial frequency represents large objects and a high spatial frequency represents small objects |
| Contrast resolution | Contrast resolution is superior in CT principally because of x-ray beam collimation and postprocessing |
| Noise | A large variation of pixel values represents high image |
