Question | Answer |
---|---|
Indirect DR | two part process, photons are converted to light and light to digital signal |
Direct DR | incoming x-ray photons are converted to an electric signal |
What is the base layer of the PSP? | support layer |
Conductor layer of the PSP does what? | ground the plate and absorb light |
The light shield layer of the PSP does what? | prevents light from erasing data or decreasing spatial resolution |
Is there an image intensifier in CR? | no |
Where do x-ray photons interact with CR? | the PSP |
How quickly is an image lost with CR? | a latent image will loose 25% of its energy in 12 hours |
How is resolution controlled in processing with CR? | by the laser size |
LUT | look up table, pre-existing histogram for a specific body part |
Kodak exposure index range: | 1,800-2,000 |
Fuji S number range: | 150-250 |
Agfa relative exposure value range: | 1.9-2.2 |
What is the useful range for the D log E curve? | .25-2.5 |
Factors that produce low contrast with CR | high kVp, no grid, poor PBL, inc. part thickness |
What is an advantage of full-field digital mammography? | improved contrast resolution |
