Question
Answer
What is the principal difference between screen-film radiology and CR?   Analog vs. digital  
🗑
The laser light used in CR has a ............. wavelength than the emitted light.   longer  
🗑
Which of the following can be eliminated during switching from film-screen to CR? a- process image b- reload cassette c- repeat examination d- perform examination   b- reload cassette  
🗑
An electron is described as being metastable:   Has higher energy than it should have  
🗑
Which of the following is most intense? a- Laser light b- normal visual light c- stimulable emission d- x-ray beam   a- laser light (focused/high intensity vs. x-ray that has weak and strong)  
🗑
Which of the following is monochromatic? a- infrared light b- laser light c- stimulated emission d- visible light e- x-ray beam   b- laser light (because its finely focused intense light)  
🗑
PSP image receptors are effective because:   metastable states are produced  
🗑
About how much time can pass between exposing a CR cassette and reading it before image quality declines?   8 hours  
🗑
As a descriptor of a PSP, the term turbid refers to an appearance that is:   cloudy  
🗑
True/False: PSP image receptors can be fogged by background radiation   true  
🗑
To remove the image of background radiation or a previous image, one should:   Expose the image receptor to intense white light  
🗑
PSP emit light when exposed to:   exposed to x-rays  
🗑
SPS emit light when exposed to:   exposed to light  
🗑
The photostimulable emission in CR has a ............. wavelength than the laser-stimulating light   shorter  
🗑
The slow scan portion of the CR reader is under .............. control   mechanical  
🗑
spacial resolution in CR is principally determined by:   laser beam diameter  
🗑
the source of the stimulating light is:   the laser  
🗑
How does the CR reader maintain the laser beam as a circle?   beam shaping optics  
🗑
Which of the following is NOT a photodetector? a- ADC b- CCD c- CMOS d- PD e- PMT   a- ADC (analog-to-digital converter)  
🗑
The x-ray capture element of a CR imaging plate is the:   BaFBr (barium fluorohalide)  
🗑
The characteristic curve of a CR imaging plate is described as:   Image receptor response function  
🗑
An advantage of CR over screen-film radiography, regardless of the type of examination, is the relatively constant:   image contrast  
🗑
Patient radiation dose reduction in CR is limited by:   system noise  
🗑
Which is less important (kVp or mAs) when CR is compared with screen-film radiography?   kVp- because algorithms in computer can alter contrast to compensate for kVp technique  
🗑
True/False: Fewer repeats is an advantage of CR over screen-film radiography   True: due to technique compensation in the computer  
🗑
CR imaging allows for the display of about how many shades of grey?   10,000 shades of grey  
🗑
Screen-film radiography allows for the display of about how many shades of grey?   30 shades of grey  
🗑
What are the 3 main sources of image noise in CR?   Mechanical defects, Optical defects, Computer defects  
🗑
What types of mechanical defects can occur?   slow scan driver and fast scan driver  
🗑
What types of optical defects can occur?   Laser intensity control, scatter of stimulating beam, light quanta emitted by screen, light quanta collected  
🗑
What type of computer defects can occur?   Electronic noise, inadequate sampling, inadequate quantization  
🗑
True/False: CR is a type of digital radiography   True  
🗑
True/False: CR is compatible with film-screen systems   True- can use same table and tube  
🗑
True/False: The imaging plate (IP) does not contain an intensifying screen   True- there is no intensifying screen or film in CR  
🗑
What are the layers of the PSP screen?   Protective, Photostimulable phosphor, Reflective, Base, Backing  
🗑
What is the chemical symbol for the barium florohalide with europium used in the PSP layer?   BaFBr:Eu or BaFI:Eu  
🗑
Why is the light emitted in latent image formation considered a characteristic interaction?   because the color of the light emitted is dependent on the atomic structure of the phosphor and ultimately the binding energy of the outer shell electron  
🗑
The intensity of the x-ray and the intensity of the light phosphor produced have a (direct/indirect) relationship?   direct  
🗑
True/False: Emitted light is monochromatic.   False: it is polychromatic; producing many different wavelengths generally colors within the blue/violet region  
🗑
True/False: Stimulating light is monochromatic.   True: Infrared beam produced by the reader that only produces the color red  
🗑
Infrared light has .......... frequency and ............ wavelength   low frequency and long wavelength  
🗑
Violet light has .......... frequency and ............. wavelength   high frequency and short wavelength  
🗑
Spacial Resolution is inversely proportionate to the:   diameter of laser beam and size of PSP  
🗑
which layer of the PSP plate sends light in a more forward direction when released from the reader?   reflective  
🗑
