Digital radiography and PACS / created by Christi Carter, Professor and Director, Radiologic Sciences Program Brookhaven College, Farmers Branch, Texas and Beth Veale, Professor of Radiologic Sciences, Midwestern State University, Wichitaa Falls, Texas. - Third edition. - xii, 203 pages : illustrations; 25 cm
Includes bibliography and index
Introduction to digital radiography and PACS Digital imaging characteristics Digital radiographic image processing and manipulation Photostimulable phosphor image capture Thin-film transistor flat panel array image acquisition CCD/CMOS image capture Basic computer principles Networking and communication basics PACS fundamentals PACS archiving and peripherals Medical informatics Ensuring quality in PACS Quality acceptance testing within digital projection imaging
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 will also learn about PACS workstations, archiving, film digitization, image printing, and more
