CBCT- The Basics I Flashcards
what are the digital image processing/modifications
- compression
- imaging manipulations
- image reconstruction
what are the imaging manipulations
- automated image analysis
- qualitative- changes pixel’s digital value
- quantitative - counts the number of pixels
what is image reconstruction
data is utilized by other software programs and produces different image presentations
what is computed tomography
use of computers to generate multiple images of an object from digitized density information obtained from various signals; x- radiation (MDCT, CBCT), magnetic fields (MRI), sonar radiation (ultrasound)
what does CT stand for
computed tomography
what are the two forms of x ray CT
CBCT and MDCT
what does CBCT stand for
cone beam computed tomography
what does MDCT stand for
multi detector computed tomography
what is the difference between MDCT and CBCT
MDCT images hard and soft tissue, more powerful and sophisticated than CBCT. CBCT can only image hard tissues
when and where was CBCT developed
in Japan and Europe in 2000
what was the first CBCT available in the US
Newtom 2001
what is the benefit of stand up CBCT
get patient in and out faster
what CBCT do we have at school
i-CAT FLX
what are the models for i-CAT
V8,V10 or V17 models
most sit down units have ___ detector
larger
the faster the scan, ____ information and ____ image quality, and ___ dose
less; lesser; less
the longer the scan, the _____ movement artifact
more likely
what are the carestream CBCT units
CS 8100 and CS 9300
CBCT technology becomes outdated due to competition from
competitor brands
- technical innovations: memory, bit depth, FOV options, operating systems, compatibility with software technologies
