IMAGE RECEPTORS TERMS Flashcards
describe the color involved in the interactions with film
heavily irradiated areas like ionic silver is reduced to Ag
black
describe the color involved in the interactions with film
partial attenuation/transmission
gray
describe the color involved in the interactions with film
complete attenuation of x-rays
clear
name cross section term associated property of film
protective coating
supercoat
name cross section term associated property of film
active layer that contains silver halide crystals (grain)
emulsion
when radiation hits film; info is encoded but we cant see it before developing
latent image
visible image after developing
manifest image
in the emulsion layer; what X-ray photons interact with
silver halide grains/crystals
lattice of hexagonal crystals containing a cubic atomic arrangement
structure of silver halide grains/crystals
knock out halide electrons from the lattice
photons of silver halide grains/crystals
manufactured/intentional defect in the silver halide lattice that makes it more reactive or more sensitive to x-rays
sensitivity speck
increases the size of the exposed sensitivity speck
