refers to the fidelity with which the anatomical structures that is being examined is rendered on the radiograph

radiographic quality rules in fast image

radiographic quality rules in slow image

faithfully produces structures and tissue

ability of the image to separate objects and visually distinguish one from the other

important characteristics of image quality

ability to image small objects that have high subject contrast such as bone-soft tissue interface

spatial resolution improves if the _, _, and _ decreases

ability to distinguish anatomical structures of similar subject contrast

undesirable fluctuation in the optical density of the image
inherent in imaging system

four components of radiographic noise

distribution of size and shape of silver halide crystal in film emulsion
inherent in image receptor

refers to the size and shape of phosphor in intensifying screen
inherent in image receptor

refers on how x-rays interact with the image receptor
it is the primary form of noise

what are you going to use to reduce quantum mottle?

they have high quantum mottle because they only need few xrays to produce image

produces fog and is detrimental to the image
roam around after interacting with a substance
