This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Kristen's and Emily's CT c-map, predetector collimator restricts beam viewed by detector array, 3rd gen uses a rotate/rotate, fan shaped beam which requires the use of bow tie filter, cadium tungstate which has a High DQE, rotate/rotate has increased scan time, x-ray tubes has a thick anode disc with large diameter, Generations the 4th gen., scatter and limits contrast resolution, Linearity is the ability CT image to assign a correct CT # to a tissue, CT consists of Gantry, 3 workstations/consoles the second is The physician's console, Slip Rings has 2 uses DAS, 1st gen. is a translate/ rotate, CT consists of 3 workstations/consoles, prepatient collimator limits area on pt, Gantry which is made up of patient couch, 2nd gen. uses the same translate/ rotate, engineer and physicist, scan time but depends on the manufacturer, square but rounded b/c of scatter
