Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

The purpose of this phantom is to facilitate the comprehensive evaluation of image parameters within CT systems, covering the entire range of CT numbers. Its design aims to minimize the time needed for Quality Assurance Programs in CT systems. The phantom’s modular construction allows for convenient integration of sections dedicated to dosimetry, in vitro specimen…

The cable connected to the cathode terminal consists of three distinct contacts. Two of these contacts serve as conduits for the filaments of a double focus tube, while the remaining contact connects to the secondary side of the high voltage transformer.  

A tunnel-based contrivance meticulously devised to enable the placement and extraction of a cassette beneath it, all without necessitating any movement of the tunnel itself. This apparatus proves invaluable for the practice of hip pinnings, streamlining the process with utmost efficiency.  

A specialized radiographic apparatus engineered to facilitate rapid cassette swapping, enabling consecutive exposures to be captured without necessitating the repositioning of the patient, akin to the principles employed in stereoscopy.  

A light-tight casing crafted from robust cardboard and paper, specifically designed for the purpose of containing film used in the practice of radiography.  

The implementation of low absorption material on the compression plates of Schonander and Puckcut film changers serves the purpose of diminishing radiation and enhancing the quality of the radiographic image.  

The impedance encountered by an electric current as it attempts to pass through a capacitor.  

Conductive wires establish a connection between the X-ray transformer and the X-ray tube. These wires are designed to be shockproof and are equipped with insulation to effectively eliminate the risk of sparking.
