Automatic Image Quality Control, Images

Glossary

AIQC	Automatic Image Quality Control.
CR	Computed Radiography, the process of creating digital radiographic
	images.
CT	Computed Tomography, the process of creating digital tomographic
	images.
Cycle power	Cycle power means to shut down and power up the laser imager.
DICOM	Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. A TCP/IP-based protocol
	for transmitting and receiving medical imaging and related data over a
	network.
Dmax	Dmax means maximum density. Dmax is the density of an area on the film
	that has received maximum exposure.
Dmin	Dmin means minimum density. Dmin is the density of an unexposed area
	on the film.
dPatch	dPatch means density patch. This is a small patch of specified density in the
	trailing edge of each film that AIQC uses to monitor density change on film.
	The dPatch is only available as an option on 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) film.
DR	Digital radiography, the process of creating digital radiographic images.
DRE	DICOM rastor engine.
DSA	Digital Subtraction Angiography.
FAZ	Fatty acids (FAZ). A by-product from the processing of DryView Film. As
	film is processed (heated), solvents in the film emulsion are let go as a gas.
	Some of these gases condense into FAZ.
GSM	Gray Scale Manager.
Film model	The film model defines the print characteristics for a particular lot of film.
Key operator	The person(s) designated by the department manager to receive
	applications training and allowed access to password-protected areas to
	make system changes.
LED	Light Emitting Diode.
MCS	Machine Control System. A microprocessor system on a printed circuit
	board that runs code to control the subsystems with the laser imager.
Modality	Medical equipment that actually generates medical images (for example,
	an MRI).
