CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY
Uses film & intensifying screen in the image formation process
CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY
Automatic & manual processing in the darkroom
Digital Imaging
Allows text, photos, drawings, animations & video to appear on the internet.
Digital Imaging
Any imaging acquisition process that produces an electronic image that can be viewed & manipulated on a computer.
DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY
Filmless imaging system that uses a sensor to capture images, then converts the images into electronic pieces and stores them in a computer
Computed Tomography
1970's, Godfrey Hounsfield, used to image the head only
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
Introduced in 1980's
Paul C. Lauterbur
He published the theory behind it in March 1973
September 2, 1971
Paul C. Lauterbur developed the idea of the MRI
fluoroscopy
Advances in 1970's
fluoroscopy
Study of moving body structures
fluoroscopy
A continuous x-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined.
Digital Radiography
Dr. Albert Jutras
Dr. Albert Jutras
Introduced the concept of moving images digitally in his experimentation with Teleradiology
Computed Radiography (CR)
Cassette-based DR
Computed Radiography (CR)
A digital acquisition modality that uses storage phosphor plates to produce projection images.
Computed Radiography (CR)
Introduced commercially in the US in 1983 by Fuji Medical Systems
Digital Radiography
uses an x-ray absorber material coupled to a flat panel detector (FPD) or a charged coupled device (CCD) to form the image
Digital Radiography
an existing x-ray room needs to be retrofitted with these devices if a new DR room is not installed
Direct capture and Indirect capture
DR can be divided into two categories
Indirect capture
x - light - e absorb x-rays and convert them into light then converted into an electrical signal
Direct capture
x - e (x-ray energy directly into an electrical signal)
PACS
Picture Archiving and Communication System
DICOM
PACS can accept any image that is in digital imaging and communications in medicine ____ format, for which it is set up to receive, whether it is from cardiology, radiology, or pathology.
1993
