🗑
What is image blurring   Quantum mottle, noise, motion  
🗑
What other terms can be used to explain window width changes   +/-, as width increases, contrast increases  
🗑
When is the IP most sensitive to scatter   Before and after exposure  
🗑
What is filtering   Hardens the beam, amp or deleted unwanted frequency  
🗑
Detectors can detect information from what sources   Cassette bases, cassette less  
🗑
What is a matrix and how does it affect resolution   Series of boxes that gives and image form. Bigger the matrix the better the resolution  
🗑
What is a pixel and how does it affect resolution   Box that makes up matrix, determines the # or gray tone  
🗑
What are thin film transistors   Collect charged products by selenium or silicon on array or matrix pixel sixe detector.  
🗑
Define frequency and explain how it relates to contrast.    
🗑
How is noise measured and explain it’s effect on contrast and density   random background info, signal noise ratio  
🗑
What does window level control   density +/-  
🗑
What is data clipping   Too much info is send through so the computer chooses what dx info needs to be sent  
🗑
What does window width control   Contrast x division  
🗑
What controls the resolution of the digital image   Pixel size  
🗑
What is masking    
🗑
Describe high-pass filtering and when it is useful. Take out all but high frequency, increase image quality    
🗑
How does direct conversion work    
🗑
What is Fourier Transformation   Convert data into a more useful form  
🗑
How is an IP erased   processor  
🗑
How do detectors acquire information   Through phosphor collectors  
🗑
Name some benefits of the increased latitude of CR.    
🗑
Why are imaging plates more sensitive to radiation than radiographic film    
🗑
Describe how a latent image is produced using CR.    
🗑
How long will a latent image store its energy   32 hr, looses 23% every 8 hr  
🗑
How does the latitude of CR compare to that of film   Latent image has a wide latitude  
🗑
Define photostiumulated luminescence (PSL).    
🗑
What color light photons are released when electrons return to a lower energy state   Blue violet  
🗑
What is the difference between object class and service class in DICOM    
🗑
Describe the difference between cassette-based and cassette-less Systems    
🗑
Based: psp exposed ad put into reader, less: detector and reader are one    
🗑
The smaller the pixel, the _____ the spatial resolution   better  
🗑
What is a histogram and why is it generated   Locates min/max signal w/I anatomical region of interest in the image. Provides proper gray scale.  
🗑
What happens if an incorrect histogram / algorithm is selected   Density and contrast are off  
🗑
What kVp is recommended with non-grid imaging and why   Increase scatter  
🗑
Name the layers of photostimulable imaging plates and their functions   Protective, phosphor, conductor, support, light shield, backing  
🗑
What is the language computers operate from   binary  
🗑
What is the difference in the data handled by analog computers and the    
🗑
data handled by digital computers   AC: continuously varying, DC: definite quantities  
🗑
How does indirect conversion work   Uses PSP  
🗑
What is the great danger that exists with CR and radiation protection

What factors that produce low contrast are prone to cause CR image plate    
🗑
fogging   Low kVp
