in digital radiography involves use of flat panel detector or other digital sensors to capture images.

________ also important to assess when performing exposure factors. _________ to contrast media should also be discussed thoroughly with the patient.

When __ decreases, resolution is improved as well as when SID increases.

Prime exposure factors are? KMES

are viewed on high quality monitors and can be manipulated post-process. PACS facilitates storage, retrieval, and distribution of images, while DICOM standards ensure seamless communication between systems. In contrast conventional film based radiography relies on chemical processing for image development.

function of this in the image is to make anatomy more visible. It is necessary for the outline or border of a structure to be visible.

its size and composition influemce radiographic technique.

For every 4-5 cm change in thickness, change mAs by factor of what?

maintains exposure by changing mAs for different part size. Double or halve mAs for every 4-5 cm part size

- device that measure the quantity of radiation that reaches the image receptor. - automatically terminates the exposure when the image receptor has received the required radiation intensity. - designed to compensate for changes in patient thickness. - system used to terminate length of exposure in order to control the amount of radiation reaching the IR.

- advantage of digital radiographic imaging over screen film is the ability to manipulate the image before and after display. - Preprocessing and post processing, they alter image appearance, usually for the purpose of improving image contrast.

designed to compensate for changes in patient thickness. Patient consideration in factor formulation is crucial for ensuring optimal image quality while lowering radiation exposure.

Digital radiography has significantly advanced medical imaging with techniques to ensure optimal image density. What techniques? HA

5 Choice of Technique System MAAPI

3 Factors to Consider in exposure standardization PCP

this level of kVp results in reduced imaged contrast.

involves evaluation of the patient. Patients size, shape and physical condition greatly influenced the required radiographic technique.

maintains exposure by changing kVp for different part size. Changes by 2 kVp for every cm of part size (4-6 cm rule)

allows selection of a specific body part and position, resulting in display of preprogrammed exposure factors. These may include AEC information.

maintains exposure when kVp is changed

built in sensors in most radiographic units. It automatically adjust exposure parameters such as MAs, based on the amount of radiation reaching the IR.

involves manipulating exposure parameters such as SID ,OID, kVp and mAs.

purpose is not to minimize patient radiation dose but to rather minimize motion blur thatb can occur because of the patient motion.

characteristics of radiographic image including OPTICAL DENSITY, IMAGE CONTRAST, IMAGE DETAIL AND DISTORTION.

- directly proportional to the exposure time (mAs).

Under this, the Radiographer must estimate the mass density of the anatomical part and the range of mass densities involved.

requires the radiographer to manually adjust exposure factors(kVp, mAs) based on factors such as the patient habitus, the anatomical part, and the type of examination.

- affects exposure of the image receptor according to the inverse square law. - largely determines the intensity of the x ray beam at the image receptor.

- primary control of x ray beam quality and therefore beam penetrability. - controls the scale of contrast on the finished radiograph.

determines the number of x rays produced and therefore the radiation quantity and therefore the patient radiation dose.
