23
Q

__ phosphor is smaller than the ____ phosphor

A

output vs input

24
Q

advantages of CCD

A
high spatial resolution
high signal to noise ratio
high DQE
no warm up required
no lag or blooming
no spatial distortion
no maintainence
unlimited life
unaffected by magnetic fields
linear response
lower patient dose
 - ouput lower rate
 - rad can post process
25

cold anode could ____ crack, need to be warmed up

A

crack

26
Q

lag

A
  • delay

- degrades image causing it to stay longer

27
