Question
Answer
the degree of geometric sharpness or accuracy of the structural lines actually recorded in the image   recorded detail  
🗑
recorded detail is also referred to as what   definition, sharpness, spatial resolution, or detail  
🗑
This term is applied to quantified discussions of recorded detail   spatial resolution  
🗑
The primary unit of resolution is what   line pairs per millimeter or cycles per millimeter  
🗑
Most human visual acuity is limited to what   5 lp/mm  
🗑
digital imaging recorded detail is determined primarily by what   matrix size, pixel size, and gray scale bit depth  
🗑
How is spatial resolution measured   point spread function (PSF), line spread function (LSF), modulation transfer function (MTF), and system noise  
🗑
The art of radiography involves controlling the degree of ____ so that it does not interfere with image diagnosis   unsharpness  
🗑
This describes that ability of an imaging system to accurately display objects in two dimensions (three dimensions in digital imaging)   spatial resolution  
🗑
Point spread function (PSF), Line spread function (LSF) and Edge spread function (ESF) all express boundaries of an image which in conventional radiography is called   penumbra or blur  
🗑
High spatial resolution represents a high frequency signal that is capable of imaging what size objects   small  
🗑
The higher the spatial frequency the   closer together the line pairs  
🗑
this measures the accuracy of an image compared tot eh original object on a scale of 0 to 1   modulation transfer function (MTF)  
🗑
An MTF of 0 represents what   no signal/ no image  
🗑
An MTF of 1 represents what   a signal of such extremely high fidelity that is records the image perfectly  
🗑
This is background information that the image receptor receives   imaging noise  
🗑
this refers to a lack of sufficient incoming data for processing.   quantum noise aka quantum mottle  
🗑
This is the processing algorithm that averages the incoming analog data by using the distance between the imaging detector elements   nyquist criterion  
🗑
this occurs when the nyquist criterion is violated (when spatial frequency exceeds nyquist frequency)   allasing  
🗑
Resolution problems should be approached in this order:   1.eliminate motion 2.reduce OID 3.reduce focal spot size 4.reduce intensifying screen size 5.increase SID  
🗑
This is the imperfect, unsharp shadow surrounding the umbra   penumbra  
🗑
Radiographic film usually has resolving capabilities in the range of   100 lp/mm  
🗑
The resolving power of an intensifying screen depends in three factors which are   phosphor size, phosphor layer thickness, phosphor concentration  
🗑
phosphor size increases, resolution decreases, density increases, and patient dose   decreases  
🗑
phosphor size decrease, resolution increases, patient dose increases, and density   decreases  
🗑
layer thickness increases, resolution decreases, patient dose decreases, and density   increases  
🗑
layer thickness decreases, patient dose increases, density decreases, and resolution   increases  
🗑
phosphor concentration increases, resolution increases, density increases, dose   decreases  
🗑
phosphor concentration decreases, resolution decreases, dose increases, density   decreases  
🗑
The major factors that limit photostimulable phosphor systems are the   intensifying screen and scanning system  
🗑
The major factor that limits indirect and direct digital systems is the   size of the detector element  
🗑
What effect does increasing SID have on recorded detail?   increases  
🗑
What effect does decreasing SID have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
What effect does increasing OID have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
What effect does decreasing OID have on recorded detail   increases  
🗑
What effect does increasing patient thickness have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
What effect does decreasing patient thickness have on recorded detail   increases  
🗑
What effect does increasing focal spot size have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
What effect does decreasing focal spot size have on recorded detail   increases  
🗑
What effect does increasing film/screen speed have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
What effect does decreasing film/screen speed have on recorded detail   increases  
🗑
What effect does good film/screen contact have on recorded detail   increases  
🗑
What effect does increasing motion have on recorded detail   decreases  
🗑
