A graphic representation of a digital image is called what? - histogram The useful signal is determined during which part of image processing? - Image sampling T/F: The Nyquist Theorem states that the sampling frequency must be less than twice the frequency of the input signal. - False T/F: Aliasing occurs when the sampling frequency is not greater than twice the frequency of the input signal. - True In digital projection radiography, what process is used to normalize an image that has been taken worth to great of an exposure? - Automatic rescaling T/F: The look-up table that is used to determine the brightness and contrast of an image is unique for each anatomic part. - True Which processing technique will amplify particular known frequencies in an image while suppressing others? - Edge enhancement, high- pass filtering, and masking T/F: Window width controls the brightness of the image on the display. - False T/F: Shuttering the digital image will reduce the exposure to the patient - False Which processing parameter will put together will put together multiple images into one single image for display? - Image stitching Recognition of exposure data involves processing what? - only the optimal density exposure range and it generates a graphic representation or histogram of the optimal densities What happens after the plate is scanned and the image location and orientation is determined? -
A value is placed on each pixel, and the histogram is generated displaying the minimum and maximum diagnostic signal. How does each histogram differ? - each histogram is different for specific anatomical regions and remain fairly constant from patient to patient Automatic rescalling allows what? - pixel display for the area of interest, regardless of the amount of exposure. What can happen if kVp or mAs is insufficient? - insufficient photons, insufficient penetration, or overpenetration results in a loss of diagnostic information that can not be manufactured by manipulating the image parameters Exposure latitude is slightly greater with digital imaging than with film imaging because of what? - the wider range of exposures recorded with digital systems Contrast enhancement parameters allows enhancement of what? - the image by controlling the steepness of the exposure gradient, density variance, and contrast amount Spatial frequency resolution is controlled by what? 3 -
