Analog-to-digital.
Position of the GALVO when the laser beam has reached the end of
the trace across the PHOSPHOR PLATE in the fast scan direction,
determined by the size of the PLATE.
Any irregularity on the radiograph caused by lint, dust, electrostatic
discharge, processing, or storing or handling that is not correct.
Measurement of an object in the fast scan and slow scan directions.
For example, if a square object were exposed and the image
processed, the processed image should remain square, not
rectangular in shape.
Radiation that is scattered backward in the path of the original beam.
Kodak DirectView CR CASSETTES have a backscatter-control layer to
decrease backscatter.
A series of vertical BARS on a label that provide information that can
be read by a computer. The BAR CODE LABEL on a CASSETTE for
the CR 825/850 SYSTEM uses a 10-digit code to identify the size,
type, and serial number of the CASSETTE.
Device for reading BAR CODE LABELS.
A collection of CR 800/825/850/900/950 SYSTEMS and the Kodak
DirectView REMOTE OPERATIONS PANEL (ROP) that can exchange
patient exam and image information on a network.
Computed Radiography.
Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine. Standard for
transferring medical images on a network.
DICOM Information System. An information system or front end to an
information system that can operate with DICOM HIS/RIS services.
Direct Memory Access.
