Main Factors Affecting Recorded Image Detail
• kVp & mAs• Motion• Object Unsharpness• Focal Spot Size• SID (Source to Image Distance)• OID (Object to Image Distance)• Material Unsharpness

Size Distortion & OID• If source is kept constant, OID will affect
magnification• As OID , magnification • The farther the object is from the film, the
more magnification
![Page 5: Imaging Procedure 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816637550346895dd9a3d5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Image Distortion• When the part to be imaged – does not lay
parallel with the IR (cassette)
• If the Central Ray is not perpendicular to the part

FOCAL SPOT ANGLE
SMALLER ANGLE – SMALLER BEAM AT PATIENT
![Page 8: Imaging Procedure 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816637550346895dd9a3d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Film Speed / Crystal size• Larger crystals or Thicker crystal layerFaster response= less detail, and less exposure (chest x-ray)• Finer crystals / thinner crystal layer
=Slower response, greater detail, more exposure (extremity)

Clinical Applications
• Multisection CT aquires changes in the planning and staging of patient examinations. The scanning time is reduced for most examinations, requiring adjustments in the administration of intravenous contrast material. The amount of contrast material can be reduced, and different vascular phases can be better visualized. Thin-section scanning allows production of high-quality MPR images

• Couinaud’s hepatic segments divide the liver into eight segments . The hepatic veins are the longitudinal boundaries . The transverse plane is defined by the right and left portal pedicles .

Sonographic Evaluation of the Liver
• Evaluation of the hepatic structure is one of the most important procedures in sonography for many reasons. The normal , basiclly homogenerous parenchyma of the liver allows imaging of the neighboring anatomic structures in the upper abdomen.

• The appropriate transducer depends on the patient’s body habitus and size
• The average adult abdomen usually requires a 3.5MHz

• Doppler ultrasound is used primarily to identify and evaluate blood flow in vessels• velocity and waveform information can be used to evaluate stenoses, resistance and vessel patency
Doppler Frequency Shift (fD)
where f0 is the original frequency and f is the frequency of the returning echo(from RBC)
f0
f
(RBC)
• maximum shift is obtained when = 0°• minimum shift is obtained when = 90° (recall, imaging of strongest echoes)• the shift is comparatively small and typically is between 0 - 15 kHz (audible sound)• the shift is positive when the RBC is moving towards the transducer and is negative when the RBC is moving away from the transducer
doppler frequency shift (fD) = change in frequency = (f0 - f)

Color Flow Doppler• Color Doppler is a hybrid that combines anatomicn obtained using B-mode system with flow information obtained using pulsed Doppler analysis• colors (blue and red) are assigned dependent on motion (toward or away) from the transducer• turbulence (i.e.: variations in flow direction) can vary between green and yellow• the depth of each color varies with the velocity of flow, stationary tissues appear gray• information is provided over a large area and superimposed on a gray scale image• color Doppler can detect flow in vessels too small to see by imaging alone• spectral analysis may also be obtained using commercial color Doppler systems• modern instruments incorporate both color Doppler and spectral Doppler

• Oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen elements
constitute 96 % of human body mass. • Oxygen is 65 % of body mass; carbon is 18.5
%, hydrogen 9.5 %, nitrogen 3.2 %.• Let us ignore all elements but Hydrogen.
