Exam 7: Digital Mammography

The CsI phosphor is deposited on top of the a-Si TFT array in a needle-like fashion (to reduce lateral dispersion of light in order to improve image detail)and converts X-rays into images.

Which detector consists of three major components: a scintillator, photodiodes, a thin film transistor (TFT)array, and a glass support?

Which of the following involves at least three steps to distinguish between lesions and normal anatomical structures?

During which procedure does the X-ray tube move through various angles while the detector is stationary?

Image processing is designed to optimize the quality of the output, but it should be remembered that sub-optimal image processing and display has the potential to result in image degradation and ____________________.

____ is defined as radiography of the breast; it is a prime example of soft tissue radiography, since the breast is composed of soft tissues such as adipose (fat), fibrous, and glandular tissue.

The computer uses image-processing algorithms for enhancement and ____________________ of lesions.

In ____, computer software is used as a tool to provide additional information to the radiologist and other related individuals in order to make a diagnosis.

Which of the following allows visualization of both lesion detail and breast edge information but reduces image contrast?

Which system consists of the X-ray tube and generator systems coupled to the digital detector imaging system?
