Radiographic Techniques and Patient Dose in Radiostereometric Analysis of the Lumbar Spine

INTRODUCTION Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) is an accurate in vivo measurement technique using two simultaneous radiographs to examine rotational and translational changes between bones or an implant and bone. The measurement accuracy offered by this technique make it an invaluable clinical research tool, however it does involve ionizing radiation, which can be a concern to the patient and cl...

A Phantom Study for the Optimization of Image Quality and Radiation Dose for Common Radiographic Examinations in Digital Radiography

Introduction: Phantom studies facilitate the implementation of radiation dose surveillance as a function of radiographic technical parameters for minimizing patient radiation dose. The evidence of such investigations can then be used to evaluate technical parameters used in the radiographic procedures to reduce radiation dose without compromising the image quality. Material and Methods: This ex...
