Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?
![Page 2: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Digital Imaging?
Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray, or gamma radiation sources) to electrical signals that are measured and assigned discrete binary values.
Binary data is processed into image information which may be enhanced, printed, displayed on a monitor, and stored as a computer file.

Digital Modalitites
Every imaging modality may be digital. Some are only digital.
From an equipment standpoint, the major differencebetween the modalities is the type of energy used,how the energy is changed as is traverses the body, and how the remnant energy is measured as it leaves the body.

Digital Radiography (DR)
X-radiation passes through,and is attenuated by the atomiccomposition of cells and tissues.
Digital applications were available in the early 1980s, but the difficulties of displaying radiographic quality images (in terms of spatial resolution) made it unpopular. In the year 2000 it was beginning to be accepted.

Question: How is an analog radiographic image made?
• Begin with photons coming off the anode.
• Outline the process, step by step.
• Use the appropriate terminology.
Incident, Attenuation, Remnant radiation, Latent, Manifest
![Page 14: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Answer: How does a radiographic image get on a film?• Incident beam leaves anode.• Attenuation in body.• Remnant radiation exits in pattern of anatomy.• Photons interact with silver halide crystals.• Latent image is formed.• Manifest image on development.
![Page 15: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Question: What does a graphic representation of density building on a film look like, and what is it
called?
D log E (or)H & D Curve (or)Hurter & Driffield Curve (or) Characteristic Curve (or)Sensitometric Curve
![Page 16: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Producing a digital radiograph is the same as for analog film, up to the point of the photons interacting with the film.
Digital imaging samples the remnant radiation with (some kind of) a detector,
not film.
![Page 17: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Analog : The continuous build up of density on a radiographic film
is an analog process.

Pascal’s calculator - 1642
A series of gears, turned by hand, rotated a wheel with numbersthat showed in a window. When the number in the ones columnreached nine, it turned the wheel in the tens column to 1, andthe ones column returned to zero. Pascal invented his device to relieve the fatigue of spiritassociated with the work of doing arithmetic.
A mechanical device, not programmable

Jacquard’s Loom - 1804
Instructions for weavingpatterns into cloth were fedinto Jacquard’s machine by this early version of punched cards that were made of wood.
The red arrows show thecards entering and leaving the machine.
A mechanical device, that was programmable
![Page 25: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Babbage’s Difference Engine - 1822
A crank was turned to perform a mechanical progression of numbered gears in columns that, like Pascal’s calculator,represented increasing powers of ten.
![Page 26: Chapter 1: What Is Digital Imaging?. What is Digital Imaging? Digital Imaging is the transforming of energy: (from light photon, sonic, magnetic, x-ray,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e715503460f94b6fec0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Hollerith’s tabulator
Like Pacal’s calculator, and Babbage’s difference engine numbers were carried over from one column to the next. The great advantage of this device was the use of electric motors to drive mechanical parts, and punched cards to input data.
In 1880 it took 9 years to tally the results of the US census. Herman Hollerith built an electromechanical calculator that used punched cards to input data on the population (age, gender, numbers in family, etc), and reduced the time to do it in half, on a greater population, with a more detailed analysis.

Cathode Anode
Grid
Vacuum tube: When the grid is positively charged electrons are drawn from the cathode to the anode, creating a closed circuit (1).
When the grid is negatively charged electronsare repelled, and circuit is open (0).
Transistors: Similar in principle to theoperation of a vacuum tube. The solidstate semi-conducting material allowed this switching device to use less energyand produce less heat in a smaller component.

How many KB of computer memory is required for a monitor with a 512 x 512 matrix displaying a gray scale of 2?
512 x 512 = 262,144 bits
262,144 / 8 bits per byte = 32,768 bytes
32,768 bytes / 1024 bytes in a kilobyte = 32KB
Answer = 32KB
