    The document discusses two categories of digital cassette used in digital radiography: direct capture and indirect capture. [1] Direct capture converts x-rays directly into an electrical signal using a photoconductor like amorphous selenium, while indirect capture uses a scintillator like amorphous silicon to absorb x-rays and convert them into light, which is then converted into an electrical signal. [2] For direct capture, the photoconductor sends the electrical signal to a thin film transistor and then to an analog-to-digital converter to produce a digital image. [3] For indirect capture, a scintillator converts x-rays to light which is then converted into an electrical signal by a CCD or TFT/CMOS

    How digital images are created on direct Capture IR and Indirect Capture from
    exposure to plate discharge.

    Digital Cassette-

    Has less systems that are divided into 2 Categories

    1. Direct Capture- x rays converted into an electrical signal which is sent to


    the computer for processing and views

    2. Indirect Capture x- rays are absorbed and converted into light which is
    then converted into an electrical signal that can be sent to the computer for
    processing

    Direct Capture Digital Radiography

    a. Conversion of x-ray energy to electrical signal

    b. (Amorphous selenium) material

    c. Photoconductor sends electrical signal to TFT (thin film transistor) then to


    ADC (Analog to digital Conversion)

    TFT- pixels (del- detector element) del voltage gates that readout
    are opened and closed like gates to allow the flow of electrons.

    d. ADC signal goes to computer for processing e. After processing the image
    is ready to be viewed

    Indirect Capture Digital Radiography

    a. Scintillator (Amorphous silicon)


    o 2 MATERIAL CRYSTAL TYPES:
    i. Turbid- barium fluorobromide
    ii. europium Needle- cesium iodide found in indirect FPD
    scintillator layer

    b. Conversion by CCD or TFT /CMOS

    c. Electrical signal to digital image (ADC -Analog to digital Conversion) -


    Electrons are given a numeric value (binary or alphabet depending on shades of
    gray or black or clear

    Definitions:

    Pixel
    o Basic picture element on a display; individual matrix boxes
    Dynamic Range
    o The ability of an imaging system to respond to varying levels of
    exposure
    Bit
    o Single unit of data
    Byte
    o Made up of 8 bits and is the amount of memory needed to store one
    alphanumeric character
    Bit Depth
    o The number of bits stored per pixels; defines the shades of gray
    available for each pixel
    Matrix
    o A square series of numbered boxes that represent the pixel intensity
    and give form to the image
    Exposure Latitude
    o The range of receptor exposures over which an image and contrast will
    be formed as will be formed
    Voxel
    o Volume or depth (called bit depth Amorphous Selenium (a-Se
    Amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) photodetector
    Gadolinium (indirect conversion)
    o Or Thalium doped cesium iodide Absorbs x rays and produces light
    Scintilation layer Structured or Unstructured
    o Structured: Unstructured layer; produce more scattered light,
    decreasing efficiency of the detector
