image quality

QuestionAnswer
Responsibility of the CT technologist 1. A thorough understanding of the parameters of CT image quality. 2.Able to identifiy causes of Ct image degradation. 3. solve technical solutions in response to image quality issues
The __data collected from the patient is subject to preprocessing before it oes to the host computer Raw data
The mathemathical technique for estimation an unknown value interpolation
The first operation to which raw data is subjected is referred to convolution
Which of the following refers to a defined set of instruction for solvig a problem algorithm
the basic problem of the back-projection algorithm is classical star pattern in the image, blurred, not dx,

The most common image processing technique used in CT is Windowing
Windowing refers to gray scale manipulation using CT numbers
The range of CT numbers is defined as the window width

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.
