Advances in Digital Chest Radiography: Dual Energy, CAD, and Digital Tomosynthesis
While recent advances in radiologic imaging have focused on CT and MRI technology, progress in digital radiographic techniques has also had significant impact on our ability to evaluate cardiothoracic disease. A number of publications have established the improved image quality of digital imaging systems over conventional film techniques [1]. While image quality has clearly improved with digita...
متن کاملComparison of dual energy subtraction chest radiography and traditional chest X-rays in the detection of pulmonary nodules.
BACKGROUND Dual energy subtraction (DES) radiography is a powerful but underutilized technique which aims to improve the diagnostic value of an X-ray by separating soft tissue from bones, producing two different images. Compared to traditional chest X-rays, DES requires exposure to higher doses of radiation but may achieve higher accuracy. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical ...
متن کاملBeliefs and behaviors of radiographers concerning “Digital Chest Radiography”
Aims Chest radiography is the first choice for the investigation of cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Radiographer technologists are responsible for managing the radiation exposure to patients and providing adequate image quality according to the ALARA concept. The knowledge and experience of radiographers in performing chest radiography helps to improve the diagnosis of diseases. The aim...
متن کاملDetection of pulmonary nodules in chest tomosynthesis
Chest tomosynthesis is a relatively recently introduced technique in healthcare, which produces section images of the chest at a lower radiation dose than computed tomography (CT) and with better depth resolution than conventional chest radiography. The primary aims of the studies described in this dissertation were to compare chest tomosynthesis with conventional radiography, to evaluate the e...

ID: 9840 Title: Dual Energy Chest Radiography Dual Energy Chest Radiography Visual detection of pulmonary abnormalities on screen-film radiographs is notoriously unreliable. Digital radiography can improve diagnostic accuracy due to its greater latitude, improved local contrast and more consistent image quality compared to screen-film systems. In addition to facilitating detection by traditiona...
