2, During radiographic exposure different forms of image
receptors, are used. digital radiography is an important framework
to identify the patient's image. radiation exposure must produce
quality images for diagnostic purposes. Digital radiography uses
indirect conversion of photons to make visible light like a
gadolinium-based detector with scintillation material.
Image display properties become the hallmark of modern digital
imaging systems. image software help for making relevant anatomy,
physiology, and pathology disappear. It enhances the right
structure to provide the correct diagnostic presentation, it
provides new benefits in the applications.
Object artifacts include radioopaque objects on the patient like
jewelry, clothing, and hair that provide abnormal shadows to make
degraded image quality, it occurs mostly by hardware failure,
software artifacts, and operator error.
3, Radiological images like CT and MRI, PET and SPECT store 16 bits
for as integers. This image data is complex type this information
data allows the software to convert pixel values in standardized
uptake values. different metadata between images produce powerful
tools to exploit image information for clinical purposes. it has a
specification of scale factors in the front end images.
4, Nuclear medicine images like PET and SPECT displayed with a
color map. Pixel of the image associated with a color predefined
color map. The images have pseudo-color. we need multiple samples
per pixel and 8bit are reserved for each sample. The pixel depth
calculated by multiplying the sample depth with the number of
samples per pixel.

1. What is the difference between “Quality Control" and "Quality Assurance" as they are applied to (1) the nuclear medical imaging facility and, (2) the nuclear pharmacy? Who is responsible for "Quality Control"? Who is responsible for "Quality Assurance"? 2. In modern digital radiography, what types of image receptors are currently used, what does image display/correction/enhancement software do and what are object artifacts in digital radiography and how do they occur?. 3. What type of imaging (to include x-ray and...
24. In digital radiography the is simply an image converter. It converts X-radiation into that are digitally rendered as various shades of gray or colors that can be interpreted diagnostically by the radiologist's ocular system. 25. A fundamental difference between radiation exposures from X-ray procedures in terms of the actual sources of radiations used and nuclear medical procedures with gamma ray containing pharmaceuticals is that in gamma ray imaging, radiation originates _ the patient whereas in radiology x-rays originates with...
28. What does the term "microdosimetry" refer to? How is it different from "macrodosimetry?" 29. What are the principal difference between a "CAT scan, "SPECT" and "PET" tomographic methods with respect to the types and sources of radiations used? 30. Who was Gordon Moore and what does Moore's Law predict? What impact might this law mean for the future of diagnostic nuclear medical imaging assuming it is correct with respect to current state of the art technology 31. Describe the...
Title: Partners Health Care Systems (PHS): Transforming Health Care Services Delivery through Information Management According to government sources, U.S. expenditures on health care in 2009 reached nearly $2.4 trillion dollars ($2.7 trillion by the end of 2010).[1] Despite this vaunting national level of expenditure on medical treatment, death rates due to preventable errors in the delivery of health services rose to approximately 98,000 deaths in 2009.[2] To address the dual challenges of cost control and quality improvement, some have argued...
