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).
