resolution
contrast
compare
distortion
Term 3 of 163
What 3 things does magnification mode result in?
1.) Coherent scatter, aka Thomspon or classical, 2.) Compton effect, 3.) Photoelectric effect,
4.) Pair production, and 5.) Photodisintegration.
It is designed to electronically amplify the brightness of an image.
T.V. camera tube
1.) Better contrast resolution, 2.) better spatial resolution, and 3.) higher pt dose.
,Term 4 of 163
Which structures in the human eye are responsible for the sensation of vision?
Iris and pupil. iris = controls light entry; pupil = adjusts size based on light.
Retina and sclera. retina = detects motion; sclera = provides structure.
Cornea and lens. cornea = protects the eye; lens = focuses light.
Rods and cones. Rods = night vision (scotopic); colorblind. Cones = daylight vision
(photopic); can perceive color.
Term 5 of 163
At what stage of image intensified fluoroscopy is the number of image forming photons lowest?
Leaving the photocathode
Entering the input phosphor
Conversion
Distortion

CINE framing due to poor optical coupling
Dark adaptation for the eye takes how long
,Definition 7 of 163
quantum sink.
The further away the Focal Point is from the output phosphor, the more ________ the image is.

Instrument used to expose film to precisely controlled steps of increasing light intensity is:
The point in the imaging chain where the fewest number of x-ray or light photons are used
to convey the signal is referred to as what.
Term 8 of 163
Which type of timer accuracy test is performed for three phase x-ray units?
Synchronous spinning top test which shows a solid arc exposure in portion of a circle and
measured in degrees.
