This series describes how digital images are processed and how to produce higher quality images. The components of digital imaging equipment and important safety standards are also covered. After successful completion of all seven modules, participants will receive 7 CE credits and a document from the ASRT recognizing their achievement.
These modules meet California digital radiography CE credit requirements. Format: online modules.
This module describes the characteristics of digital imaging receptors and the factors that affect their response to exposure. The image capture process for digital image receptors is explained as well as the factors that determine spatial resolution. Learn how to identify the sources of image blur and the equipment associated with digital fluoroscopic imaging systems.
This module describes how photostimulable phosphor (PSP) image receptors extract data. Learn how to analyze image data extracted from image receptors and to identify and describe the most common exposure indicators for image detectors. The effects of automatic rescaling on image quality are also explained.
This module explains the difference between a cathode ray tube and a liquid crystal display monitor. Learn how different monitors can affect the image display. Features of a modality workstation monitor and workstation functions are also explained in this module.
This module examines the relationship between exposure indicator values, histogram analysis and automatic rescaling. Learn how exposure changes will affect the appearance of a digital image and how to evaluate a digitally acquired image to assess appropriate exposure levels. You will also learn how to locate different types of artifacts on a digital image and identify their probable causes.
This module describes the components of a PACS and its functions. Learn the purpose of a PACS and the types of data included in a PACS display.
This module defines and describes the three pillars of radiation safety and the units of measure used for radiation safety. Learn different shielding methods for various procedures, including fluoroscopic procedures.
This module explains why quality assurance testing is important and how these tests are performed on photostimulable phosphor (PSP) and flat-panel image receptors. Also learn how display monitors are tested.
This easy-to follow educational program is designed for administrators or educators who want their staff or students to stay current by learning how technology has advanced medical imaging. These interactive modules describe how digital images are processed and how to produce higher quality images. The components of digital imaging equipment and important safety standards are also covered. This package contains all seven modules, an image library, transcripts and test banks for each module.
This series of nine online modules is designed for new and seasoned health care professionals who want to improve their clinical competence. Written by radiologists and a registered radiologist assistant, this series uses high-quality CT and MR images to explore the location and function of major anatomical structures in the human body. Format: online modules.
