lesson 7

Question 1

encompasses all equipment , components , and accessories that products provide one or more of the following functions: Analog or digital electronic display, capable of being used for more than one image acquisition device. The BLANK’s Quality Assurance Framework (QAF), has been developed to provide TPs with a quality evaluation of BLANK approved courses

Answer 1

Medical Imaging Informatics (MII)

Question 2

A majority of radiology departments have indicated that they currently use or plan to include some form of BLANK or Teleradiology technology in their short, medium, and long-range plans, or are actively shopping for small or large-scale systems. This optimism is probably due to several factors, including significant improvements in workstation, network, and storage technology, the increasing need to connect hospitals outpatient clinics, and other medical centers, and perhaps most significantly, the emergency of a tiny but growing number of successful large-scale BLANK implementations

Answer 2

PACS Evaluation

Question 9

involves a set of policies, tools, and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and system following a natural or human-induced disaster

Answer 9

Disaster recovery

Question 10

is the property that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of some of its components.

Answer 10

Fault tolerance

Question 11

Is the time it takes for data or a request to go from the source to the destination. BLANK in networks is measured in milliseconds. The closer your latency is to zero, the better. Your data takes a long time to send, as in an email with a large attachment

Answer 11

Networking Latency

Question 12

The ability of computer systems or software to exchange and make use of information. “Interoperability between devices made by different manufacturers”.

Answer 12

Interoperability

Question 13

is being performed of the effect of the re-implementation of a radiology information system/ picture archiving and communication and an image transfer

Answer 13

assessment study

Question 14

• is a plan of action to ensure that a diagnostic x-ray facility will produce consistent, high-quality images with a minimum of exposure to patients and personnel.
• to ensure the consistent provision of prompt and accurate diagnosis of patients to maintain the quality of diagnostic images, to minimize the radiation exposure to patients and staff, and to be cost-effective.

Answer 14

Quality Assurance in Radiology

Question 15

• receiving the request for an examination from referring physicians
• scheduling the examination within the specific modality
• imaging the patient
• generating the report, then making it available to the referring physician

Answer 15

Inpatient workflow information and guidance

Question 16

• register for his or her examination(s)
• After registration, the patient is then directed toward a specific waiting room depending on the type of scheduled examination (chest x-ray, CT scan , etc.)

Answer 16

Outpatient Radiological/Diagnostic Information System

Question 17

3 basic components of workflow

Answer 17

• input transformation
• output
• Input: The materials and resources that are required to complete a step

Question 17

Information Technology Training for Radiologists and Technologists

Answer 17

To become a radiology technician or technologist, individuals must have completed an accredited radiology technology program. Programs are available at the associate and bachelor’s degree levels as well as at the certificate level: however, many employers require at least a two-year degree. Some of these programs are offered online. General radiology experience is required for employment, and more specific imaging experience and certification in MRI, CT, or Mammography imaging may also be required depending on the particular position.
