Gain a full understanding of the basic principles and techniques of digital imaging! Using an easy-to-understand format and style, Digital Radiography and PACS provides the latest information on digital imaging and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). It offers tips on producing clear radiographic images, and helps you build skills in computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR), as well as PACS. Coverage also includes quality control and management guidelines for PACS, CR, and DR. Written by noted educators Christi Carter and Beth Veale, this book provides excellent preparation for the ARRT credentialing exam and for success as a practicing technologist.
- Curated information on digital imaging systems includes computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR), and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS)
- Practical information addresses topics such as working with CR/DR workstations, including advanced image processing and manipulation functions; PACS workstations, archiving solutions, and system architectures; and effective techniques for digitizing film, printing images, and preparing image files
- Bulleted summaries and review questions focus your attention on the most important concepts in each chapter
