Module:
Digital Imaging in Radiography: Image Quality Control
Module Description:
Audience: All radiologic technologists
Prerequisites: A basic understanding of x-ray
Building on the concepts included in the module, Digital Imaging in Radiography: The Basics, this module compares the various data acquisition devices and image receptors in terms of spatial resolution, contrast resolution, artifacts, and image noise. Measuring and reducing patient dose in a digital radiographic environment is also discussed. Note: For maximum learning efficiency, Digital Imaging in Radiography: The Basics should be completed first.
Learning Objectives
* Compare and contrast cassette-based digital radiography, noncassette-based digital radiography, and conventional screen/film radiography
* Explain the factors affecting image density or brightness in both a digital and screen/film environment.
* Identify common artifacts associated with digital radiographic imaging systems.
