Exam 3: Computed Radiography: Physics and Technology

The movement of the IP is referred to as the ____ direction and the laser beam movement across the IP is called the ____ direction.

Which term refers to the time it takes for a latent image to disappear?

Some IPs have a(n)____________________ for easy identification.

To render the latent image visible, the PSP IP is taken to the CR reader/processor to be scanned by a laser beam.What is this process called?

Which of the following deals with the technical aspects (rather than the administrative aspects)of equipment performance?

For the same FOV, the greater the matrix size, the smaller the pixels and the better the image sharpness.

____________________ testing is the first major step in a QC program and ensures that the equipment meets the specifications set by the manufacturers.

Photostimulable phosphors have the property of creating and storing a(n)____________________ when exposed to X-rays.

While standard IPs have thick phosphor layers and absorb more radiation, high resolution IPs have thinner phosphor layers and provide sharper images compared to thick phosphors.

What does X-ray exposure of the PSP IP create?
