technique that uses penetrating radiation to produce images viewed during irradiation. - Radioscopic imaging and real time radiography mean the same as radioscopy - Traditional radiography uses film as the imaging medium, radioscopy uses as fluorescent screen to convert radiation to light for direct viewing or electronic imaging. - Fine grain, thinner coatings provide higher resolution but lower light output - Light efficiency is lower for higher energy radiation BMP Bit Mapped Picture DIB Device Independent Bitmap GIF Graphic Interchange Format JFF JPEG File Format JIF JPEG Image Format JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group JPG JPEG PIC PICS PICS Platform for Internet Content Selection PICT Picture PNG Portable Network Graphics RLE Run Length Encoding TIF TIFF TIFF Tagged Image File Format - Step for Film Processing Manual: 1.

Fixer - Developer; When radiographic film is exposed to ionizing radiation, an invisible image (called a latent image) is formed in the emulsion layer of the film. The process of converting the latent image to a visible image is called development, and a developer solution is used in this process. -
