Lesson 1 Flashcards
the key to diagnosis
precision
defines the path to healing
clarity of an image
important for proper diagnosis
Optimum Quality Radiographic Image
Image on the radiograph is a result of:
Xray that are absorb
Xray that are scattered
Xray that pass through matter without interaction
the radiograph are the result of x-ray photons that
interact with the film.
Black areas
on the radiograph are areas that received no exposure.
White areas
are caused by partial exposure from x-rays.
Gray tones
Uses xray film and IS in image formation
Film screen imaging system
Film is placed between two IS.
Film screen imaging system
The remnant X-ray struck the screen and converts this to light which exposes the film.
Film screen imaging system
Film is then chemically processed so image appears and becomes permanent on the film.
Film screen imaging system
Film is viewed using a negatoscope for interpretation.
Film screen imaging system
Uses computers to produce an image.
Digital imaging system
Two types of digital imaging system
Computed radiography
Digital radiography
Properties of radiographic image
Density
Detail
Distortion
Contrast
Mottle
Noise
