Question
Answer
show overlapping reconstruction  
🗑
Image data are used to stacked cross-sectional slices and generate an image in a plane or orientation different from the prospective image. Also called image rendering   show
🗑
This method requires that the operator input the criteria, such as the thickness of the MPR, the plane desired, and the number or incrementation of the resulting planar images   show
🗑
show real-time MPR  
🗑
show scanner-created MPR  
🗑
MPR generated directly on the workstation. This allows radiologists the flexibility and interactivity to create images that are suited to the specific clinical situation   show
🗑
show surface rendering  
🗑
show threshold CT values  
🗑
show projection displays  
🗑
3D technique that selects voxels with the highest value to display   show
🗑
3D technique that selects voxels with the lowest value to display   show
🗑
A 3D imaging technique that creates a semitransparent representation of the imaged structure. A advantage of this is that all voxels contribute to the image, allowing the image to display multiple tissues and show their relationship to one another   show
🗑
show opacity value  
🗑
A form of volume rendering designed to reveal the inside of the lumen of a structure. The technique is also called virtual endoscopy, virtual bronchoscopy, and virtual colonoscopy   show
🗑
show virtual bronchoscopy  
🗑
show virtual colonoscopy  
🗑
show region-of-interest editing  
🗑
show manual segmentation  
🗑
show fully automated segmentation  
🗑
Combines many of the benefits of manual and automatic segmentation techniques to selectively remove or isolate information from the data set   show
🗑
show segmentation errors  
🗑
When smooth objects, such as the aorta, appear on the reformatted image to have edges that resemble a flight of stairs. The result when wide slices are used as source images.   show
🗑
show informatics  
🗑
show imaging informatics  
🗑
Information systems that focus on administrative issues, such as patient demographic data, financial data, and patient locations within the hospital   show
🗑
show clinical information systems (CIS)  
🗑
show computerized physician order entry (CPOE)  
🗑
Generic term for a digital patient record   show
🗑
show electronic medical record (EMR)  
🗑
show radiology information system (RIS)  
🗑
show picture archive and communication system (PACS)  
🗑
The study, design, development, implementation, support, or management of computer-based information systems; particularly software applications and computer hardware   show
🗑
Linked computers that are geographically close together   show
🗑
Computers that are farther apart and must be connected by telephone lines, cables, or radio waves   show
🗑
Refers to networks that are linked by a physical connection   show
🗑
refers to networks that use radio waves to transmit data between computers   show
🗑
show topology  
🗑
Connections used to attach computers to the network, consisting of cables that are made up of twisted pairs of copper wire   show
🗑
Comps in this model are either classified as servers or clients. A server is a comp. that facilitates comm btw & delivers info to other comp. The server acts on requests from other networked comp. (the clients), rather than from a person inputting it   show
🗑
show core servers  
🗑
show bandwidth  
🗑
show bits  
🗑
Unit of information storage composed of 8 bits of data   show
🗑
show lossy compression  
🗑
Method of image compression in which the image that is then decompressed in an exact replica of the original   show
🗑
Common set of rules and signals that computers on the network use to communicate   show
🗑
Describes an arrangement in which two or more components perform the same task, if one element fails the duplication keeps the system functioning while the failed component is repaired; duplication of data to provide an alternative in case of failure   show
🗑
show DICOM  
🗑
show Health Level Seven  
🗑
show direct digital capture  
🗑
show frame grabbing  
🗑
Monitors used in radiology departments were all adaptations of this   show
🗑
Used for monitors in radiology departments   show
🗑
Brightness   show
🗑
Storage system using devices such as hard drives that are instantly accessible to the user   show
🗑
show near-line archiving  
🗑
show off-line archiving  
🗑
show redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID)  
🗑
Optical storage devices; can be used for long-term data storage. This has a storage capacity of up to 15.9 gigabytes   show
🗑
Roboti storage systems that automatically load and unload optical discs. The devices are also called optical disk libaries, optical jukeboxes, or autochangers   show
🗑
One of the oldest data storage options used to record computer data; consists of a long narrow strip of plastic with a magnetizable coating, most often packaged in cartridges and cassettes   show
🗑
Distribution channels that encompass off-site outpatient clinics or allow on-call radiologists to review studies from home   show
🗑
show virtual private networks (VPN)  
🗑
Networks in which each user has the same capabilities and any party can initiate communication. These networks exploit the diverse connectivity and the cumulative data capacity of network participants, rather than using a centralized resource   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.
