holds cassette or image plate

bucky

light proof container holds film or digital plate

cassette

negative electrode in x-ray tube

cathode

limits x-ray beam to specific area of the body

collimator

the difference in densities

contrast

computed radiography digital imaging using cassette

CRT

cathode ray tube (video monitor)

digital imaging & communication used in pictures and communication/health level 7 used in transfer or electronic information

DICOM-HL7

direct digital radiography - uses fixed detectors to produce image without a digital cassette

degree of darkness on an image

density

misrepresentation of size and/or shape of an object being radiographed

distortion

it is a number produced which tells the status of a digital image

exposure indicator (EI)

is prior to being exposed to radiation

film

area of the anode from which x-rays emanate

focal spot

moves and helps remove scatter radiation from an image

grid

HIS

health information system

it is a graphic display of the exam pixel values formed in the image

histogram

device that absorbs x-rays after having passed through the patient

image receptor (IR)

Made of photostimulable phosphor that absorbs the photons that exit the patient, it is inside a CR cassette

imaging plate (IP)

Mounted in a film screen cassette either single or paired they glow when exposed to radiation which in turn exposes the film

intensifying screen

kVp

kilovoltage peak determines the wavelength of the of the x-ray beam and determines the contrast of the image

mAs

miliampere seconds the quantity of radiation produced by the generator

digital images are made up of pixels in rows and columns

matrix

OID

object to image distance is the distance from the part of the patient being imaged and the image receptor

PACS

picture archiving system

picture element smallest part of the matrix

pixel

digital manipulation of an image

postprocessing

machine that develops x-ray film

processor

placing patient's part for the purpose of seeing the bone or organ in a way giving the most information

position

x-ray image after it has been exposed

radiograph

the path the x-rays take from the tube to the image receptor

projection

sharpness of the image on the radiograph

recorded detail

beam that exits the patient

remnant/exit radiation

RIS

radiology information system

SID

sour to image distance

volume element of soft tissue represented by a pixel

voxel

window level

adjusts brightness

window width

adjusts contrast
