Question
Answer
one of the two types of digital imaging systems that is cassette based, the body part is obtained using storage phosphor in the cassette   show
🗑
show Digital imaging  
🗑
show Digital radiography (DR)  
🗑
show Direct conversion  
🗑
a two-step process in which the x-ray energy is first converted to light & then converted into electrical signal using a scintillator   show
🗑
a device that glows when hit by the high-energy x-ray photons and often is made of cesium iodide   show
🗑
a phosphor used in computed radiography (CR)plates to absorb the x-ray energy and store it until it is processed by a special unit and laser light   show
🗑
an extensive networked group of computers, services and archives the image   show
🗑
the further adjusting of any image of a body part with the use of computer software   show
🗑
image comprised of continuous shades of gray from black to white   show
🗑
relates the number of line pairs in a given length as cm or mm (lp/mm); data is sampled from an exposed detector in computed radiography/detector element-size (del)   show
🗑
an array of small picture elements (pixels) that forms a matrix; each pixel is recorded   show
🗑
the ability if an imaging system to resolve and render on the image a small high contrast object; determined primarily by the number of pixels in an image & therefore the size of each pixel   show
🗑
the dimensions of the field of view (fov) with in patients body not the size of displayed image   show
🗑
range of exposures over which a detector can acquire image data and display contrast comparable to film latitude; the number of gray shades that an imaging system can reproduce.   show
🗑
show Contrast resolution (digital)  
🗑
an option of post processing to improve the film   show
🗑
a part of windowing that adjusts the brightness; it identifies the type of tissue to be in focus (soft tissue or bone)   show
🗑
determines the gray scale rendition of that tissue & therefore the image contrast   show
🗑
measure of x-ray absorption efficiency; variation in detectors which predicts their efficiency; absorption coefficient;   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
