Exam 13: Other Technical Applications of Computed Tomography Imaging: Basic Principles

Computed tomography screening has been used in all of the following except:

All of the following are problems associated with transporting patients to a fixed computed tomography scanner except:

The table speed can be expressed as: I. d = R/T II. d = R + S/t III. d = S * P/t

The goal of radiation therapy is to kill tumor cells without harming surrounding healthy tissue.

During the development of computed tomography fluoroscopy, the dose to the ________ of the operator was a concern.

The direct conversion flat-panel detector is used in flat-detector computed tomography systems.

All the following are advantages offered by flat-detector technology in breast computed tomography scanning except:

The size of the needle and site of injection are not important during a computed tomographic angiography examination.

Which volume-rendering parameter refers to the degree that structures close to the user obscure structures that are farther away?

The selection of peak kilovoltage and milliamperage used in computed tomographic angiography examinations is usually determined by: I. abnormalities of the area being imaged II. level of noise in the images III. patient size
