Part II Flashcards
Generator [..] phase, [..] pulse
Three phase, 12 pulse
4% voltage ripple
Power rating of x-ray gen
85-100 kW at 100 kV
[..] to read 1 vid fram
33 ms
Time required for the XRT to be switched on and reaches selected levels of kVp and mA
Interrogation Time
Fraction of time that the XRT is energized
Duty Cycle
Time required for the XRT to be switched off
Extinction time
Essential for reducing patient radiation dose and should be routinely used
Plus progressive fluoroscopy
Target angle required [..] and [..]
10 to 20 degrees
Photosensitive semiconductor where camera forms an image by electronically scanning
Target
Digital formation sampling [pixel formation]
- Place mesh over image
- Assign each square a pixel
- Pixel values from digital images
Standard resolution on to tv monitor: [..]
[..] -upscanned
525 lines/frame
1024 -upscanned
Displays the image twice the acquisition resolution “smoother”
Upscanned
Provides option of viewing an image b or w or vice versa
Density reversal
(Scout) allows any image w/in a series to be selected or used as. Mask (pre contrast image)
Masking
Allow the use of diff images to be used as masks within a single series
Remasking
