A

Quantum Noise

22
Q

Grainy or sandy-like appearance

A

Image Noise or Quantum Noise

23
Q

Ability to respond to varying levels of exposure, more tissue densities on the digital image are seen, giving the appearance of more detail.

A

Dynamic Range

24
Q

The range of exposure diagnostic image values the image detector is able to produce

A

Exposure Latitude

25
Q

Dependent on the image detector the higher dynamic range of the detector, the more values can be detected

A

Exposure Latitude

26
Q

Dependent on the image detector the higher dynamic range of the detector, the more values can be detected

A

Exposure Latitude

27
Q

Is to generate an image that is more pleasing to the observer

A

Image Enhancement

28
Q

Is to improve the quality of images that have distortions or degradation

A

Image Restoration

29
Q

Is to reduce the size of the image in order to decrease transmission time and reduce storage space

A

Image Compression

30
Q

Creates images from other images or non-image data

A

Image Synthesis

31
Q

When the frequencies of areas of interest are known, those frequencies can be amplified and other frequencies suppressed

A

Spatial Frequency Filtering
EDGE ENHANCEMENT

32
Q

Edge enhancement are also know as ?

A

high-pass filtering

33
Q

Smoothing are also known as?

A

low-pass filtering

34
Q

Occurs by averaging each pixels frequency with surrounding pixel values to remove high-frequency noise

A

Spatial Frequency Filtering
SMOOTHING

35
Q

The result is a reduction of noise and contrast

Image Orientation

41
Q

Zooming in and out

A

42
Q

Result in a black appearance of bone and a white appearance of soft tissue

A

Image Inversion

43
Q

Technique that can remove superimposed structures so that the anatomic area of interest become more visible

A

Digital Subtraction

44
Q

When anatomy or the area of interest is too large to fit on one cassette, multiple images can be “stitched” together using specialized software programs

A

Image Stitching

45
Q

One of the most commonly used three-dimensional (3D) rendering techniques

A

Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR)

46
Q

Used to visualize vessels

A

(MIP) Maximum Intensity Projection

47
Q

Air-filled structures

A

(Minlp) Minimum Intensity Projection

48
Q

Similar to MIP but allows the user to assign colors based on the intensity of the tissue so that bone, contrast agent, and organs can be seen in different colors

A

Volume Rendering Technique (VRT)

49
Q

The Technique uses a histogram-type graph to differentiate the various structures.

A

Volume Rendering Technique (VRT)

50
Q

Using a threshold of pixel intensity values, everything below the threshold will be removed, and everything above will be assigned a color and shown as a 3D object

A

Shaded Surface Display (SSD)
