Question
Answer
What are the acceptable ways to divide the CR plate to make multiple exposures?   show
🗑
show *Motion *patient artifacts *improper positioning/clipped anatomy *quantum mottle *double exposure (CR) *grid lines/cutoff *moire effect  
🗑
show Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine - international standard to transmit, store, retrieve, print, process, and display medical imaging information  
🗑
What is HL7?   show
🗑
show Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers  
🗑
show American Association of Physicists in Medicine  
🗑
show National Electronics Manufacturer's Association  
🗑
How is QC of electronic display devices performed?   show
🗑
What does a Display Test Pattern evaluate?   show
🗑
What is geometric distortion?   show
🗑
show involves evaluating overall appearance of pattern - look for dropped pixels (no brightness, appears as a dark space that doesn't change location w/diff images)  
🗑
show verification all 16 luminance patches are distinctly visible from adjacent patches  
🗑
What is resolution?   show
🗑
What is ambient light and what is standard?   show
🗑
Are you able to visually identify a monitor test pattern?   show
🗑
Describe procedure for QC displays? Papp p 187-188   show
🗑
show (luminance dependencies) - relationship between display luminance and input values from standard display systems (test pattern)  
🗑
show viewing angle between observer and center of display - no less than 80' for LED screen  
🗑
What is spatial/geometric distortion in QC of displays?   show
🗑
show verify contrast patterns are visible both in white and black squares; verify proper contrast balance available within image  
🗑
What is spatial resolution ?   show
🗑
show uniformly gray across entire display  
🗑
What is display artifacts?   show
🗑
What is display reflection?   show
🗑
Which display is best luminance (brightness)?   show
🗑
What is reject and repeat analysis program (RAP)?   show
🗑
show increased department efficiency; decreased department cost; decrease patient dose (most important)  
🗑
What is an artifact?   show
🗑
show b/c may be produced by CR system itself; users not using proper image techniques or selecting appropriate imaging protocols  
🗑
show because the IP is very sensitive to scattered radiation  
🗑
show artifacts can obscure important anatomy; picture looks bad; cannot be corrected by any image processing algorithm  
🗑
List some Image Plate artifacts. Papp p 137-139   show
🗑
What are digital radiography artifacts?   show
🗑
are you familiar with appropriate collimation when making more than one exposure on a CR plate?   show
🗑
show *motion - involuntary/voluntary *patient artifacts - removable/not removable *improper positioning or anatomy *quantum mottle *double exposure (CR plates) *grid lines/cutoff (angel hair pasta) *Moire effect (Nyquist frequency)  
🗑
show *Heat Blur - CR *Improper image brightness (incorrect algorithm) *Electronic noise *Quantum mottle *Phantom image *Scatter *Dbl exposure *Foreign Objects *Dropped pixel *Halo artifacts  
🗑
What is heat blur?   show
🗑
What is Improper image brightness?   show
🗑
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.
