Image Acquisition

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The component of a CR image plate that records the radiologic image is   photostimulable phospor  
🗑
the luminescent light emitted by the PSP is transformed into the image seen on the CRT by the   ADC (analog to digital converter)  
🗑
SId affects recorded detail in which of the following ways?   directly related  
🗑
Grid interspace material is made up of what?   Aluminum and plastic fiber  
🗑
In a duration of 0.05 second was selected for an exposure what mA would be necessary to produce 30 mAs?   600 mA  
🗑
Unopened boxes of radiographic film should be stored away from radiation and   in the vertical position  
🗑
The term windowing describes the practice of   changing the image brightness and/or contrast scale  
🗑
foreshortening can be caused by   the radiographic object being placed at an angle to the IR  
🗑
what does not affect the exposure rate of the primary beam?   field size  
🗑
a patient with Congestive heart failure has to have what done to the technique for a PA chest Xray?   Increase  
🗑
Misalignment of the tube-part-IR relationship results in   shape distortion  
🗑
the direction of electron travel in the xray tube is   cathode to anode  
🗑
for the same FOV the spatial resolution will be improved using   a larger matrix  
🗑
which of the following technical change would best serve to remedy the effect of very dissimilar tissue densities   high KV exposure factors  
🗑
the absorption of useful radiation by a grid is called   grid cutoff  
🗑
during CR imaging, the latent image present on the PSP is changed to a computerized image by the   ADC  
🗑
How are mAs and patient dose related?   directly  
🗑
the reduction in xray photon intensity as the photon passes through material is termed   attenuation  
🗑
diagnostic xrays are generally associated with   high frequency and short wavelength  
🗑
At what portion of the xray beam is the effective focal spot the largest?   at the cathode end  
🗑
the intensity of ionizing radiation decreases as   distance from the source of radiation increases  
🗑
what is the purpose of the thin layer of lead that is often location in the rear portion of the IP   to prevent scatter radiation  
🗑
the purpose of the electroconductive layer of the CR PSP plate is to   facilitate transportation through the scanner/reader  
🗑
the xray image seen on the computer display monitor is a   digital image  
🗑
the accessory used to measure the thickness of body parts in order to determine optimal selection of exposure factors is the   caliper  
🗑
a radiograph made with a parallel grid demonstrates decreased density on its lateral edges. this is most likely due to   decreased SID  
🗑
a particular mAs value, regardless of the combination of the mA and time, will reproduce the same radiographic density, this is a statement of the   reciprocity law  
🗑
the relationship between the height of a grid's lead strips and the distance between them is referred to as grid   ratio  
🗑
because of the anode heel effect the intensity of the xray beam is greatest along the   cathode end of the beam  
🗑
in digital imaging, TFT DEL size is related to   spatial resolution  
🗑
