Across
- 4. type of exposure technique that establishes an optimal kVp and then adjusts the mAs values in minimal increments of 30 percent
- 6. type of exposure technique that adjusts the kVp 2 kVp per cm of subject thickness
- 7. measures of sensitivity and accuracy of how the IR converts the incoming data to the output viewing device
- 8. actual amount of xray exposure to the image receptor/detector
- 12. ability of the detector to resolve detail of items spaced close together
- 14. volume element in a matrix
- 15. measures the capacity of the detector to pass its spatial resolution characteristics to the final image
- 16. tool used to measure the thickness of a body part
Down
- 1. how many steps are there in developing an exposure technique chart
- 2. generated during initial processing from the image data that the digital system finds useful
- 3. a comparison between the actual exposure and the proper exposure reviewed by the image detector
- 5. picture element in a matrix
- 7. the sharpness of a diagnostic image; are you able to see the image clearly enough to make a diagnosis
- 9. the acronymn used in radiology for achieving quality images at the lowest radiation dose to the patient
- 10. ability of the detector to resolve energy differences in the gray scale
- 11. applied to the data for the standard contrast for the selected exam;based on the proper projection selection
- 13. starvation inadequate exposure to the detector elements
