33
Q

Computed Radiography was first introduced commercially in the __place__ in ___year___ by ___organization___

A

United States in 1983 by Fuji Medical

Systems of Japan

34
Q

the use of CR requires

A
  • CR cassettes and phosphor plates
  • CR readers and technologist quality control workstation
  • means to view the images, either a printer or a viewing station.
35
Q

the first system consisted of

A
  • a phosphor storage plate
  • a reader
  • a laser printer to print the image onto film
36
Q

examples of two CR readers

A
  • A high volume reader capable of processing between 110 and 140 imaging plates per hour.
  • A much smaller system designed for medical offices, surgery, or intensive care units, capable of processing 50 to 60 imaging plates per hour

Indirect capture and Direct capture

45
Q

TFT

A

Thin-Film Transistor

46
Q

absorb x-rays and convert them into light. The light is then detected by an area-CCD or thin-film transistor (TFT) array and then converted into an electrical signal that is sent to the computer for processing and viewing

A

Indirect capture digital radiography

47
Q

convert the incident x-ray energy directly into an electrical signal, typically using a photoconductor as the x-ray absorber, and send the electrical signal to the computer for processing and viewing
