Glossary

Monotonic

Continuously increasing. When a calibration sheet, which consists of strips

 

of increasing density (Dmin) to maximum density (Dmax), is read by the

 

densitometer, the density values must be monotonic (continuously

 

increasing). If they are not, an error message is generated.

MR

Magnetic Resonance.

N/A

Not available or not applicable

PACS Link (MIM)

Picture Archiving Communication System Link - Medical Image Manager. A

 

family of store-and-forward software applications that is developed by

 

Kodak.

Platen

The metal surface on which the film rests as it is exposed.

QC step wedge

Mammography Quality Control Test Pattern.

RF Tag

Radio frequency tag.

Service image

An image used by service personnel for troubleshooting.

Shutdown

The process of exiting current tasks and applications and turning the

 

power off.

SMPTE test pattern

A Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineering monitor test pattern

 

that is used for analyzing image-quality problems.

SST

Synergy Service Tool.

Test type

The type of test film that will be printed. Two film test types are available: a

 

density test film (SMPTE pattern) and a calibration film.

TFT

Transfer Function Tables.

Undelivered queue

The queue of jobs that cannot be printed because of problems with the job

 

description.

Version

A different rendition of an image. A second version of an image is

 

processed using a second set of image processing parameters.
