D. Windowing
A. Flat Field Uniformity tests
Flat field uniformity , gain or off set gain corrections attempt to even out the signal across the area of the image field. The variance of the signal can be caused by dead or malfunctioning pixels, rows or columns; image lag , anode heel effect or calibration errors.
Exposure field recognition separates areas of the image by scatter noise, raw exposure and midrange gray levels for histogram analysis.
Partitioned Pattern Separation or segmentation is used in CR to separate multiple exposures taken on a single IP.
Irrelevant contrast that exists in an image is termed _________ and is measured by _____________
A. Contrast noise; CNR
B. Signal noise; SNR
C. Region of interest; area in mm
D. Standard deviation; mean
A. Contrast noise; CNR
Irrelevant contrast that exists in an image is contrast noise; measured by the contrast to noise ratio (CNR). SNR is the measure of the ratio of noise to the signal in a system. The mean is the average of the pixel values in a region of interest measurement (ROI). ROI’s are used by radiologists to help identify the size and consistency of tissue within a specified region. The CNR can be calculated by region of interest measurements (ROI) usually by the medical physicist.

See the posted manufactures brochures on Image Stitching for more information on how the major manufactures achieve this

If a radiographer applied the ankle LUT to a chest radiograph, the image would likely demonstrate:
A. Extremely low resolution
B. Low contrast
C. High contrast
D. A loss of contrast

A chest image processed with an ankle LUT would demonstrate high contrast. This is because the reference ankle LUT, associated with the procedure algorithm for an ankle, is designed to display appropriate high contrast for an extremity image. The computer software will rescale or modify the brightness and contrast to match the selected procedure algorithm regardless of the actual input. However, the radiographer can correct for improper histogram selection prior to sending the image to PACS.

A. A post processing technique
B. A table of numbers that represents a “normal” image for the selected procedure

Smoothing filters remove the fine edges of structures, removes noise and removes details. This are typically referred to as low pass filters because, small objects with high frequency are filtered out and large low frequency objects are allow to pass. Smoothing filters are used to remove noise in an image.
High pass filters do the opposite, they filter low frequency objects such as low contrast objects and leave high frequency objects or fine details. These algorithms are used to sharped fine structural lines, but introduce more noise in in the image
A special type of imaging that produces soft tissue only and bone only images simultaneously:
A. Digital tomography
B. Digital Subtraction Angiography
C. Dual Energy Subtraction
D. Double Exposure Radiography
C. Dual Energy Subtraction
Dual energy subtraction uses a high energy and a low energy images to produce separate image of bones and soft tissues. There are two methods: In the first method, two separate images are produced at different kVp levels and the tissues of interest are subtracted out. The advantage of this method is that the tissue selected images have better signal. The disadvantages are that the patient dose is higher and there may be mis-registration b/t images due to patient motion. 2. In the second method, one image is produced with a special filtered cassette for high and low energies and the tissues of interest are subtracted. The disadvantage of this method is the the tissue selected images have more noise which may lead to obscuring of detail.

Interpolation is a operation that estimates an unknown value from the surrounding values.

This does not actually fix the pixel, but uses an approximate for the pixel’s value. If many pixels malfunction, the entire detector may need to be replaced.
