RAD 350 Chapter 16 Digital Radiography • Many types/names for the digital imaging processes and devices
Types • CR: Barium Fluorohalide PSP • SPR (scan projection RAD): Nalscintillator/photodiode • Indirect DR: Csl, GdOSscintillator • Indirect DR: Csl/Charge couploed device (CCD) • Direct DR: a-Se, Thin-film transistor (TFT)
ES’s “Clever approach (capture element, coupling element, collection element • “Capture element” – how the x-rays are captured (PSP’s, Csl, gado, etc) • “Coupling element” transferring the x-ray “signal” to the collection element • “Collection element: - devices to either collect light photons or electrons
Scan Projection Radiography • As in CT, uses a “fan beam” (collimated by pre-pt. collimators); Post pt. remnant beam is collimated by a “fan” for the detector array – neither the tube or detector MOVE! • SPR is NOT too successful, but is re-emerging for another breath
Charge Coupled Devices • CCD’s are SMALL, thus GREAT for digital imaging • Have HIGH sensitivity to radiation and WIDE dynamic range (dim to bright light) • STRAIGHT H & D Curve
Types of CCD’s • Cesium Iodide/CCD • Cesium Iodide/Amorphous Silicon • Amorphous Selenium • Not going into digital mammo at this time
