ANSWERS EXPERT VERIFIED GRADED A+
◉ image stitching. Answer: stitching together multiple images -
useful for scoliosis studies of the spine, long bone studies or
angiographic imaging of peripheral vasculature. - to view as a single
image.
◉ image annotation. Answer: allow the technologist to inset preset
text or manual text on the image
◉ contrast resolution (digital). Answer: Ability to distinguish
anatomic structures having similar subject contrast
◉ spatial resolution. Answer: Refers to the amount of detail present
in any image.Phosphor layer thickness and pixel size determines
resolution in CR.
◉ pixel. Answer: A single square within a matrix
◉ matrix. Answer: a series of very small boxes that form a digital
image
, ◉ direct conversion. Answer: one step process in DR where flat
panel detectors convert the x-ray energy directly to an electric signal
using an amorphous selenium detector for immediate viewing
◉ charged coupled device. Answer: component which light enters
and is converted into video or electronic signal
◉ thin film transistor. Answer: used to read charges collected during
an exposure
◉ photodiode. Answer: A silicon solid state device sensitive to light.
Converts light into an electrical signal.
◉ scintillator. Answer: Amorphous silicon requires a _____ such as
cesium iodide or a rare earth intensifying screen composed of
gadolinum and lanthanum with oxysulfides. This also converts x-
rays to visible light.
◉ flat panel detector. Answer: a type of digital detector employing
amorphous silicon or selenium detector material, bonded with thin-
film transistor technology for digital image creation and
amplification
