Answer to Question 1

Digital radiography using direct capture

Rationale: Digital radiography is a form of direct capture imaging. Direct capture DR is cassetteless and there are no readers needed to convert the signal. Direct capture DR has the imaging plate built into the radiographic system and is directly interfaced electronically to the computer processing system. This type of system is most efficient and eliminates the need for the technologist to transport or switch out cassettes between exam projections.

Answer to Question 2

CNS syndrome

Rationale: CNS, GI, and hematopoietic syndromes are associated with short term somatic effects.
