L4 Flashcards
(13 cards)
Which has higher quality, film or digital
Film
CCD vs CMOS
CCD: charge pattern transfered to amplifier
-More power
-High sensitivity
CMOS: Charge directly connected to transistor
PSP steps
expose
stimulating laser
reading
Intense light to reset
Proper collimation results in
reduced scatter
Improved contrast
Contrast resolution
Definition
Measured in
ability to distinguish different densities in the image
Measured in bits
Spatial resolution
distinguish fine detail
Detector latitude
ability of receptor to capture a range of exposure
Detector sensitivity
Ability to respond to small amounts of raidation
Edge enhancement diagnosis
cant diagnose decay or open margin because there will always be a black line
