Digital Film Receptors Flashcards
(43 cards)
Used for computed radiography
Imaging plate
Allows implementation of a fully PACS
Digital detectors
Imaging plate is made from
Photostimulable phosphor plate
Phosphor layer
Barium fluorochloride
Protects the phosphor layer and allows light feom the laser and emitted light to pass through it
Protective layer
A layer of PSP that traps the electrons during exposure
Phosphor layer
Stimulates light
Photostimulable
Most commonly used phosphor
Barium Fluorobromide
Sends light in a forward direction
Reflective layer
Absorbs and reduces static electricity, not found in IS, absorbs excess electricity
Conductive layer
Gives imaging sheet some strength
Support layer
Absorbs stimulating light (laser light) but reflects emitted light
Light Shielding Layer
Protects the back of the plate
Backing layer
Identification of the patient
Barcode
Serve to orient the cassette to the top of the patient and patient’s right side
Stickers
2 types of IP
Standard Resolution
High Resolution
Resolution that have thick phosphor layer
Standard Resolution IP
Resolution that have thinner phosphor layer, commonly used for extremity examination
High Resolution IP
CR cassette are usually made of
Aluminum / Aluminum honeycomb panel
Allow radiation to pass through
Radiolucent (front of cassette)
The back of the cassete is made up of _____ to prevent backscatter radiation
Lead
The light produced is ______ to the xray exposure
Proportional
Used as a receptor for digital radiography (indirect conversion)
Charged Coupled Devices
CCD are physically small about
2-3 cm^2
