Frage 43
Frage
In a CCD X-rays hit the [blank_start]scintillation[blank_end] layer above the matrix/array and are converted to [blank_start]light[blank_end] photons. This creates a [blank_start]charge packet[blank_end] which represents the [blank_start]latent[blank_end] image. This is transmitted as an [blank_start]analogue[blank_end] voltage then converted by an analogue-digital converter to the digital image.

scintillation
-
light
-
charge packet
-
latent
-
analogue
Frage 44

Frage 45
Frage
For a PSPP system, the barium [blank_start]fluorohalide[blank_end] phosphor layer absorbs the X-ray photons and stores them (X-rays not [blank_start]attenuated[blank_end] by patient). The image plate is then placed in a laser reader and this causes the stored X-rays to be released as light. A [blank_start]photomultiplier[blank_end] tube then detects this light energy and converts it into a voltage which is then interpreted by a computer and displayed as a digital image.

fluorohalide

photomultiplier
