What is one major issue with conventional X-ray imaging?
What is one major issue with conventional X-ray imaging?
- It requires the use of radioactive materials.
- It provides excellent depth perception.
- Structures overlap and are difficult to distinguish. (correct)
- It captures images in three dimensions.
How does conventional X-ray imaging represent the thickness of the body?
How does conventional X-ray imaging represent the thickness of the body?
- By enhancing the depth of field.
- By using multiple angles of projection.
- By removing overlapping structures.
- By compressing layers into a single projection. (correct)
What does the projection in conventional X-ray imaging lead to in terms of visual clarity?
What does the projection in conventional X-ray imaging lead to in terms of visual clarity?
- Clear distinction of bones from other tissues.

Flashcards
X-ray imaging
X-ray imaging
A medical technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body.
Overlapping structures
Overlapping structures
In conventional X-rays, different parts of the body appear on top of each other in the image, making it hard to distinguish individual structures.
Depth information loss
Depth information loss
Conventional X-rays capture a 2D image, so information about the relative positions of structures in 3D space is lost.

Study Notes
Conventional X-Ray Imaging Limitations
- X-rays project the entire body thickness onto a single image.
- Structures often overlap, making distinction difficult.
- Depth information is lost in the projection.
