Grid Conversion Formula -
mas1/mas2 = gcf1/gcf2 (direct)
26
Density Maintenence Formula -
mas1/mas2 = D1^2/D2^2 (direct)
27
If given an object size, multiply this by the magnification factor
To determine ?
28
Magnification factor -
SID/SOD
29
rectification factor -
KVP x MA x S x RF (measured in heat units)
30
1/2 wave (self rectified) =
60 pulses, 100% ripple, 1.0 rectification factor
31
full wave =
120 pulses, 100% ripple, 1.0 rectification factor
32
3 phase 6 pulse =
360 pulses, 13-14% ripple, 1.35 rectification factor
33
3 phase 12 pulse =
720 pulses, 3-4% ripple, 1.35 rectification factor
34
high frequency =
???? pulses, 1% ripple. 1.41 rectification factor
35
spinning top test -
checks timer accuracy for 1/2 wave or full wave machines only
36
synchronous spinning top -
used for 3 phase or high frequency to test timer accuracy, measures the degree of arc
37
Grid used for portable can be no more than
5 or 6:1; low ratio
38
Grids control
contrast (and KVP does also)
39
grid cutoff -
Grid cutoff occurs when the x-ray tube is centered to one side of the grid rather than to the focal center line. Cutoff also occurs when the x-ray tube is angled toward one side of the gird, rather than perpendicular to its center. The same effect is encountered if the grid is tipped side to side in relation to the primary beam.
40
Wedge filter -
example of compensating filter
41
stereoradiograph -
3D image produced by 2 angled views of the same structure.
42
Crossed grids -
lead lines running in two directions
43
developer temperature -
90-95 degrees
44
Grid should be used when KVP Exceeds -
60 KVP
45
proliferation -
To grow or multiply by rapidly producing new tissue, parts, cells, or offspring; To increase or spread at a rapid rate
46
TLD -
lithium flouride
47
MAs triangle
mAs -------------- mA | S MA x s = mAs To get mA divide mAs/s To get S divide mAs/mA
48
Flat panel detector (DR imaging plate)
Takes the place of cassettes and readers; | 3 different types: teathered (w/cord); fixed ( mounted in Bucky); wireless (muses radio signal from FPD base)
49
Xray emission spectrum
A serf xray frequencies emitted by a target in an X-ray tube.
50
Rectifier
A device that converts AC to DC
51
A sensitometric curve will tell you all the properties of the film in question except
Spectral sensitivity
52
The portion of the sensitometric curve that represents maximum optical density is
D-max
53
The portion of the sensitometric curve that represents minimum optical density is
Base + fog
54
Barium as a contrast is contraindicated when
Perforated bowel
55
Positive contrast media
Iodine/barium | Temporarily make the anatomy more dense than normal.
56
Film latitude
The margin for technique error for a given film
57
The margin for technique error is
Latitude
58
A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)badge uses
Lithium fluoride
59
Density
Overall image blackness
60
Window level
Adjusts the overall optical density (aka brightness) Raising = increase in overall density Lowering = decrease in overall density
61
Window level
The exact center of the window selected, controls digital image brightness (density)
62
Window width
Changes the range of gray tones Increasing = longer scale of contrast (low contrast) Decreasing = shorter scale of contrast (high contrast)
63
The standard formula for calculating an air gap technique instead of a grid
10% of the SID
64
Edge enhancement
Computer looks for areas of common pixel signal strength across the matrix, which are then averaged and amplified to the area of interest and other tissues suppressed resulting in decreased contrast. Potential for loss of detail/quantum mottle
65
The factor which has primary control of image contrast
KVP
66
Xray intensity
KVP and filtration
67
Inverse square law
The intensity of the beam is inversely proportional to the squad of the distance I1 (d2)2 / I2 (d1)2
68
When the xray beam or IR is misaligned =
Elongation
69
When the body part is misaligned =
Foreshortening
70
A high signal to noise ratio indicates
Little noise
71
A low signal to noise ratio indicates
Lots of noise
72
Spatial resolution
Ability to visualize small objects Field of view/matrix size lp/mm
73
Small pixels =
Better spatial resolution
74
Density is referred to as ? In digital imaging
