RAD 354 Chapt. 10 Concepts of RAD Image Quality • Radiographic Image Quality – Hi image quality = being able to see clearly on the image • Spatial resolution – ability to see SMALL objects that are in close proximity to one another • Contrast Resolution - OD differences • Other key terms: detail, visibility of detail and recorded detail
Terms, con’t • Noise; Quantum mottle; • System speed • Film-screen/receptor (how fast the OD is built up) • Characteristic curve (H & D curve, etc); parts of the curve • Sensitometry/densitometry • Log relative exposure – why .3 increments?
Terms Con’t • Contrast – discuss pt., barium, H2O; body habitus; screen-film/receptor factors • Exposure ”latitude” (chemistry/processing/speed of system • Geometric factors – discuss/draw all geo. Type factors
