Question
Answer
show Emission of a visible light after excitation by a laser.  
🗑
show -The phosphor used in the screens in digital imaging. -Usually barium fluorohalide.  
🗑
show Phosphor screen that hold the latent image in digital imagin.  
🗑
show The "cassette" which holds the SPS in digital imaging.  
🗑
SP (Storage Phosphor)   show
🗑
PMT (Photomultiplier Tube)   show
🗑
PD (Photodiode)   show
🗑
show - The "cassette" which holds the Photostimulable Phosphor in digital imaging. - Looks much like screen film technology except that the Storage Phosphor Screen replaces the film and intensifying screens.  
🗑
Cassette   show
🗑
Protective Layer   show
🗑
show Holds the Photostimulable phosphor that "traps" electrons forming the latent image during exposure. Usually made of barium fluorohalide. May also contain a dye to prevent light spread.  
🗑
show Layer that sends light in a forward direction when released in the cassette reader.  
🗑
Conductive Layer   show
🗑
Support Layer   show
🗑
show Prevents light from erasing data on the imaging plate or leaking through the backing,  
🗑
Backing Layer   show
🗑
show Allows the technologist to match the image information with the patient-identifying barcode on the examination requested.  
🗑
show Imaging plate.  
🗑
The Laser Beam   show
🗑
The Laser Beam:   show
🗑
show Gathers the light from the SPS and converts it into an electronic signal which is in an analog form.  
🗑
show Converts the analog signal from the photomultiplier into a digital signal.  
🗑
Erasing the image   show
🗑
show Similar to the D log E curve in film/screen technology ( will cover in RAD exposure).  
🗑
Image Noise   show
🗑
show In CR imaging, the concept that kVp controls contrast does not hold true for CR imaging. kVp and mAs only controls patient dose.  
🗑
Erasing   show
🗑
Detection (Reading) the stimulated emission   show
🗑
show - Those electrons who are still excited but trapped are released when exposed to a laser light (in the laser reader).  
🗑
Stimulation:   show
🗑
show - The Photostimulable Phosphor is exposed to radiation in the form of x-rays which allows the electrons in the Storage Phosphor Screen to become excited.  
🗑
Exposure to Radiation:   show
🗑
show 1. Exposure to radiation. 2. Stimulation. 3. Detection (Reading) the stimulated emission. 4. Erasing.  
🗑
Computed Radiography   show
🗑
With _____ a dark room is unnecessary.   show
🗑
show Spacial resolution.  
🗑
_________ should be used soon after the erase cycle has been completed.   show
🗑
show Small.  
🗑
show Are two processes of analog-to-digital conversion (ADC).  
🗑
show 14-bit.  
🗑
_________ should be performed at lower techniques than screen-film radiography   show
🗑
