Diagnostic Imaging Terms
developer Correct Answer-The chemical solution that converts exposed
silver halide crystals to black metallic silver
myelography Correct Answer-radiography of the spinal cord and nerve
roots
using contrast media
photostimulable Correct Answer-being able to store a latent image that
may be freed as light when stimulated by scanning laser
Sievert (Sv) Correct Answer-dose of radiation equivalent to the absorbed
dose in tissue (1 sievert equals 100 rem).
MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI) Correct Answer-uses a magnetic
field that recognizes the natural resonance of atoms within the body of
produced images
Anode Correct Answer-Positive electrode
Kilovoltage Correct Answer-Highest voltage of x-ray tube used during
an exposure
gray Correct Answer-the measured unit of radiation dose that is
absorbed as a result of ionized radiation
, PACs Correct Answer-Acronym for Picture Archiving and
Communications System. PACS enables improved image resolution as
images are stored in digital format and manipulated by software
controls.
tomography Correct Answer-is a modality that uses an x-ray tube that
freely rotates around patient creating a dataset of images
X-ray Correct Answer-a form of electromagnetic radiation
Grid Correct Answer-a device made up of lead strips interspaced with a
radiolucent material. it absorbs scatter radiation
computed radiography Correct Answer-is a type of digital radiography
that uses a cassette screen system
Postive Contrast Correct Answer-type of medium such as barium or
iodine that is radiopaque on radiographs used to visualize organs in the
body.

Direct digital imaging Correct Answer-a type of digital radiography that
uses an imaging plate of detectors connected directly to a computer
system
