The sharpness and abruptness of structural detail borders; in electronic/digital imaging, term used to describe this quality is.....
|
Spatial Resolution
|
|
What are some other terms that refer to recorded detail?
|
Resoultion, clarity, defintion, and sharpness
|
|
Recorded detail is measured with what?
|
A resolution test pattern
|
|
How is a resoultion test pattern expressed?
|
It is expressed in lpmm
|
|
Anything that affects density or contrast will or will not affect visibility of detail?
|
Anything that affects density or contrast does affect visibility of detail
|
|
_______ relats to the size and shape of the image compared to the acutal size and shape of the object.
|
Distortion
|
|
Magnification, elongation, and foreshortening are used when describing ________
|
Magnification, elongation, and foreshortening are used when describing DISTORTION
|
|
Recorded detail and magnification are (inversely, directly) related
|
Recorded detail and magnification are inversely related
|
|
As recorded detail increases, magnification (increases, decreases)
|
As recorded detail increases, magnification decreases
|
|
SID & OID regulte _________
|
Magnification
|
|
SID is (inversley, directly) related to magnification
|
SID is inversely related to magnification ( increase SID = decrease magnification)
|
|
SID is (inversely, directly) related to recorded detail
|
SID is directly related to recorded detail (increase SID = increased recorded detail)
|
|
OID is (inversely, directly) related to magnifiction
|
OID is directly related to magnification (increase OID = increase magnification)
|
|
OID is (inversely, directly) related to detail
|
OID is inversely related to recorded detaail (increased OID = decreased recorded detail
|
|
True or False:
Some geometric unsharpness is intrinsic bc of the shape & position of the structure of intrest within the body |
True
|
|
True or False?
Structures that do not parllel the x-ray tube and IR and/or that lie outside the central axis of the x-ray beam will be foreshortened or elongated |
True
|
|
Structures within the bosy lie at varying distances from the x-ray IR, producing varying degrees of ___________
|
Magnification
|
|
The extent or size of the unsharp area is (inversely, directly) related to the focal spot size and OID
|
Directly
|
|
Unsharpness (increases, decreases) as focal spot size and OID increases and as the SID decreases
|
Increases
|
|
Borders of unsharpness around image details is often referred to as....
|
Focal spot blur, geometric unsharpness, or edge gradient
|
|
The (smaller, larger) the focal spot size, the better the geometrically recorded detail
|
Smller
|
|
The (actual, effective) focal spot is the finite area on the tungsten target tht is acutally bombarded by electrons from the filament
|
The actual focal spot
|
|
The (actual, effective) focal spot is the foreshortened size of the focus as it is projected down towards the IR
|
The effective focal spot
|
|
How the apparent focal spot will differ from the acutal focal spot as a result of the _______ _______ principle
|
Line focusing principle
|
|
True or false:
The angle of the anode does not has any effect on recorded detail |
False,
The angle of the anode cn have a significant effect on recorded detail |
