The goal of this book is to provide an accurate and adequate description of all the aspects of digital images and digital equipment, and their implications for radiographic technique and clinical application in a friendly way by providing crisp, clear illustrations along with readable text. This book the focuses on digital topics, and the facts are stated with such brief explanatory material as each topic will allow.
Many digital topics are intimidating, and every attempt is made to reduce these topics to a descriptive, non-mathematical level that can be intuitively understood. A helpful glossary is included whenever a concise definition is needed for a particular term.
ALL TESTS CAN BE TAKEN ONLINE
No matter which type of Digital Radiography in Practice course you purchase, (complete course, download test, fax or online) you can take your test through our on-line testing site.
If you order any of the "Test Only" options, it DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BOOK.
On completion of this Digital Radiography in Practice course the participant should be able to:
1. Describe the aspects of a digital image matrix and how it impacts image sharpness.
2. Explain the difference between tissue thickness and tissue density.
3. Define the term exposure latitude.
4. List the 4 steps in pre-processing a digital image.
5. Name and define the terms “Q Values”.
6. Explain the term “Dark Masking” and why it is important.
7. Describe how true saturation occurs.
8. Explain the risks of background and scatter radiation to stored PSP plates.
9. List the main components of a PACS system.
10. Explain the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 monitors in the radiography Department.
