Which of the following refers to the ability of the computed tomography detector to capture, absorb, and convert x-ray photons into electrical energy?

The purpose of the imaging system is to:I. produce x raysII. shape and filter the x rayIII. detect and measure the radiation passing through the cross-section

Interpolation methods that result in a scan wider than what was selected is known as what

Image reconstruction that uses raw data to automatically produce images during patient scanning is called:

Calculate the pitch for a MDCT scan with the following parameters: 128 slice MDCT, 1.25 mm slice thickness, table movement of 80 mm per rotation.

Which of the following describes the function of a reconstruction algorithm in CT?

Select the proper sequence of CT numbers (HUs) for the following tissues, from lowest HU to the highest HU:

Calculate the distance covered in a SDCT helical scan using a 1 second tube rotation, 5mm slice thickness, pitch of 1, 30 second total acquisition time and a DFOV of 20 cm. 

The mathematical techniques used by the computer to reconstruct the computed tomography image are known as:

The data acquisition system, or DAS, measures the number of photons that strikes the detector, converts the information to a _______signal, and sends the signal to the computer.
