  2. Thumbprint sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbprint_sign

    In radiology, the thumbprint sign, or thumbprinting, is a radiologic sign found on a radiograph that suggests the diagnosis of either epiglottitis or intestinal ischemia.. In a lateral C-spine radiograph, the sign is caused by a thickened free edge of the epiglottis, which causes it to appear more radiopaque than normal, resembling the distal thumb.

  3. Digital radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_radiography

    Digital radiography is a form of radiography that uses x-ray–sensitive plates to directly capture data during the patient examination, immediately transferring it to a computer system without the use of an intermediate cassette. [1]

  4. Xeroradiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroradiography

    Xeroradiography is a type of X-ray imaging in which a picture of the body is recorded on paper rather than on film. In this technique, a plate of selenium, which rests on a thin layer of aluminium oxide, is charged uniformly by passing it in front of a scorotron. [1] The process was developed by engineer Dr. Robert C. McMaster in 1950. [2]

  5. Chest radiograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_radiograph

    A radiation source is positioned behind the patient at a standard distance (most often 6 feet, 1,8m), and the x-ray beam is fired toward the patient. In anteroposterior (AP) views, the positions of the x-ray source and detector are reversed: the x-ray beam enters through the anterior aspect and exits through the posterior aspect of the chest.

  6. X-ray detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_detector

    Fish bone pierced in the upper esophagus. Right image without contrast medium, left image during swallowing with contrast medium. To obtain an image with any type of image detector the part of the patient to be X-rayed is placed between the X-ray source and the image receptor to produce a shadow of the internal structure of that particular part of the body.

  7. Projectional radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectional_radiography

    Projectional radiography, also known as conventional radiography, [1] is a form of radiography and medical imaging that produces two-dimensional images by X-ray radiation.The image acquisition is generally performed by radiographers, and the images are often examined by radiologists.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_photofluorography

    Chest photofluorography, or abreugraphy (better known as mass miniature radiography in the UK and miniature chest radiograph in the US), is a photofluorography technique for mass screening for tuberculosis using a miniature (50 to 100 mm) photograph of the screen of an X-ray fluoroscopy of the thorax, first developed in 1936.
