RAD170 Chapter 40 Matching
What does the output phosphor do?
converts 1 photoelectron to 3000 light photons
What is minification gain? How is it calculated?
increased brightness from conentrating photons (input phosphor diameter)^2/(output phosphor diameter)^2
What is flux gain? How is it calculated?
increased brightness from photoelectron acceleration # of output photons/# of input photons
What are the charge & voltage of the electrostatic focusing lenses?
negative, 25-35 kVP
What does the anode do? How?
attracts photoelectrons because of positive charge
What happens at the focal point?
the image is reversed
What is ABC?
Automatic Brightness Control - maintains image brightness by adjusting technique automatically
What is a CCD?
charge-coupled device - semiconductor that stores the charge from light photons
How do you calculate total brightness gain?
flux gain x minification gain
What do the electrostatic focusing lenses do?
focus photoelectrons and accelerate them towards the anode
