ADC
analog to digital converter; converts image information into numerical data
165
Positive electrode in the xray tube
Anode
166
The ability of the radiographic equipment to collimate automatically the x-ray beam to the same size as the image receptor resting in the Bucky tray; this function prevents unnecessary exposure to the parts of the patient outside the area covered by the IR.
Automatic Collimation
| AKA "PBL"
167
Effect of motion on the radiographic image
blur
168
moving grid used to remove scatter radiation from the remnant beam, which can cause fog on the IR
Potter-Bucky Diaphragm
| "Bucky"
169
light proof container holding the IR, either an imaging plate for the computed radiographic or x-ray film and intensifying screens
Cassette
170
Negative electrode in x-ray tube
cathode/filament
171
boxlike structure attached to the x-ray tube containing lead shutters that limit the x-ray beam to a specific area of the body
collimator
172
digital radiographic imaging using a cassette containing an imaging plate
Computed Radiography (CR)
173
differences in densities on a processed image; contrast allows detail to be seen
Contrast
174
Opaqueness or degree of blackening on an area of the processed image
density
175
Digital imaging and communications in medicine, a standard protocol used for blending a picture archiving and communications system and various imaging modalities
DICOM
176
uses fixed detectors that directly communicate with a computer
direct digital radiography (DR)
177
Misrepresentation of the size or shape of the object as recorded in the radiographic image
distortion
178
S-number or exposure index that describes the status of the exposure and diagnostic value of the digital image
exposure indicator
179
refers to film before exposure radiation
film
180
area of the anode in the x-ray tube from which x-rays emanate
focal spot (tract)
181
device that is placed between the patient and the IR that absorbs scatter radiation that is exiting the body
grid
