Question
Answer
mA for fluoroscopy   0.5-5 mA  
🗑
length and diameter of image intensifier tube   50cm long, 15-58cm diameter  
🗑
5 parts of image intensifier   1. input phosphor 2. photocathode 3. focusing lenses 4. accelerating anode 5. output phosphor  
🗑
material of input phosphor   cesium iodide  
🗑
material of output phosphor   silver-activated zinc cadmium sulfide  
🗑
brightness gain   expression of ability of image intensifier tube to increase image brightness  
🗑
flux gain   ratio of number of light photons at output phosphor to number of light photons emitted in input phosphor + represents tube's conversion efficiency  
🗑
conversion factor   expression of luminance at output phosphor divided by input exposure rate  
🗑
Automatic Brightness Control (ABC)   function of fluoro unit adjusting kVp, mA, or both  
🗑
magnification mode   increases voltage to electrostatic focusing lenses  
🗑
in magnification mode, the focal point is shifted _______ from output phosphor   farther  
🗑
trifocus image intensifier ________________ can be operated in any of these 3 modes   30/23/15  
🗑
distortion:   misrepresentation of true size or shape of object  
🗑
2 types of distortion from fluoro:   unequal magnification (pincushion) and loss of brightness around periphery (vignetting)  
🗑
image noise:   results when insufficient info is present to create image (not enough xrays expose input phosphor)  
🗑
image noise is fixed by ______ __   increasing mA  
🗑
2 tv cameras:   camera tube and Charge-Coupled Device (CCD)  
🗑
image intensifier can resolve ______lp/mm   5  
🗑
monitor can resolve ___to___lp/mm   1 to 2  
🗑
cassette spot filming   static imaging process using radiographic cassette to obtain an image  
🗑
Flat-Panel Detectors are used in ________ fluoroscopy   digital  
🗑
Flat-panel detectors:   cesium iodide amorphous silicon indirect capture detector  
🗑
Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC):   minimize noise, maximize readout speed, allow switching from low to high dose  
🗑
Backlighting:   erase detector between frames, preventing ghosting  
🗑
advantages of flat panel detectors in place of image intensifiers:   reduce bulk+weight don't degrade w/age more durable less artifacts reduce dose 50% better contrast resolution postprocessing options  
🗑
fluoro features:   Last Image Hold (LIH) for virtual collimation frame averaging, reducing pt dose option to include grid selection of added filtration  
🗑
frame averaging __________spatial resolution   decreases  
🗑
