Chapters 8,9,10 Flashcards
.All of the following statements are true except
Dead pixels at the edge of the detector are easily identified
The PSP cassette is backed by aluminum that
Absorbs backscatter x-rays
Which of the following can be done to. decrease the chance of having image LAG occur in the next image?
increase the amount of time between exposures
.Flat-panel detectors that use indirect conversion technology convert
X-rays to visible light
Clinical applications for CCDs include all of the following except
Computedtomographyfluoroscopy
When compared with a CMOS, CCDs
Use more than 100 times the power
Two or more objects sharing resources and information
Network
SMALL AREA NETWORK with a series of cables or wireless access points.
Local area network(LAN)
What are the advantages of using LAN ?
Computers can SHARE INFO and devices on the SAME network.
*Least expensive to install
*Much faster than the WAN
A wide area network spans a large area, city, state, nation, continent, or the world
Wide area network (WAN)
.What is the reason a WAN is used ?
A WAN is used to connect computers that are not physically attached; how the internet is set up.
WANS are connected through other means such as
Telephone
*Satellite Links
*Other Communications Cables
What are the 2 types, of networks ?
*Peer to peer
*Server or client based
Each computer on the network is considered EQUAL.
*Each computer controls its own information and operation and can function as client or server
Peer-to-Peer Network
What are the advantages of using a Peer-to-Peer network?
Least expensive *Simplest to set up
A centralized computer (server) controls the operations, files, and sometimes the programs of the computers (clients) attached to the network.
server based network
Is similar to a server-based network, it has a CENTRALIZED computer that controls the operations
Client- Based Network
What is the advantage of using Client-based network?
*Smaller exchange of information
Role the computers play in operation of the network and *Which computer controls the network operation
Network type
Computer that MANAGES RESCOURCES for other computers, servers, and networked devices house applications, provides storage for files
*Usually the most robust computer on the network
server
A device found on a network that REQUEST SERVICES and RESOURCES from a server.
thin client
Another computer, a printer, or any other networked device that NEEDS THAT SERVER to complete its tasks.
An example of a thin client is
Computer that can workINDEPENDENTLY from the network.
* Processes and manage its own files
*Is generally a high-end computer that does high-level processing for specific purposes.
thick client
Sectional imaging modality (CT) are
Thick client
The physical CONNECTION between the devices.
. Network Connectivity
four types of Network Connectivity?
(CTFE)
Coaxial cable *
Twisted-pair wire *
Fiberoptic cable *
Electromagnetic waves
Consists of a center conducting wire surrounded by insulation and a grounded shield of braided wire
*is the sturdiest wire used.
Coaxial Cable
Consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire
Twisted Pair Wire
.Most common connection medium for a LAN
Twisted Pair Wire
Uses glass threads to transmit data on the network
Fiberoptic Cable
disadvantages of using Fiberoptic Cable
*More expensive and fragile, than its metal counterparts. *Easily damaged by kinking and twisting
Wireless Connections does not need physical cabling. each device must contain the appropriate wireless transmitter and receiver. (T or F)
TRUE
What is the biggest advantage of Wireless connections?
Mobility and convenience, but connection has a limited range.
The simplest device for connecting SEVERAL PIECES OF EQUIPMENT .Is commonly used in small office and home applications
Network Hub i
Similar to a hub, but sends data only to those devices to which the data are directed
Network Switch i
Created so larger networks can be segmented toREDUCE TRAFFIC . Bridge: a physical (wired) connection from one network segment to another.
Network Bridge
