Description
Practical and comprehensive, this resource offers up-to-date coverage of computed radiography, digital radiography, and PACS. It explores
the differences between conventional and digital imaging systems and how computed and digital radiography systems fit within the radiology
department. State-of-the art information on image acquisition, exposure guidelines, and quality control help you obtain the best possible
radiographs. You'll also learn about PACS workstations, archiving, film digitization, image printing, and more. For this revised reprint,
we have updated Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12. In Chapter 4, revisions have been made to the Digitizing the Signal and Speed Class sections.
In Chapter 5, revisions have been made to the Imaging Plate Selection, Grid Selection, and Automatic Data Recognition sections. In Chapter
6, the Indirect Conversion, CsI Detectors, Detective Quantum Efficiency, and Spatial Resolution sections have been revised. In Chapter
12, the Quality Control Standards section has been revised.
