5-15 micrometer

27
Q

it is the active and most important layer of intensifying screen as it emits light during stimulation by x-ray

A

phosphor layer

28
Q

ability to give off visible light

A

luminescence

29
Q

ability of phosphor to give off light only while exposed to x-ray and is important to radiography

A

fluorescence

30
Q

continue to emit light even after x-ray exposure has ceased or stopped and produces afterglow or screen lag

A

phosphorescence

31
Q

characteristics of a good phosphor

A

detective quantum efficiency, conversion efficiency, spectral matching, minimum afterglow/lag

32
Q

ability of the phosphor to convert x-ray into light

A

conversion efficiency (CE)

33
Q

ability of the phosphor to interact with x-ray

A

detective quantum efficiency (DQE)

34
Q

specific color that the phosphors emit must match with the spectral sensitivity

A

spectral matching

35
Q

this is insignificant in radiography but is used in fluoroscopy

A

minimum afterglow/lag

36
Q

thickness of protective coating

A

10-20 micrometer

37
Q

it gives physical protection to the delicate phosphor layer and provides a surface which can be handled and cleaned without damaging the phosphor

A

protective coating

38
Q

it prevents static build up and is transparent to x-ray

A

protective coating

39
Q

44
Q

other term for barium lead sulfate

A

barium flurochloride

45
Q

it is used for producing high-speed screens and for high kVp techniques; used for decreasing patient dose

A

barium lead sulfate or barium flurochloride

this phosphor material is used in fluoroscpic screens and responds well with low intensity radiation

A

zinc sulfide

47
Q

this is used for high resolution imaging
