A ug 1 99 7 The detective Modulation Transfer Function applied to scanned digital radiographic
نویسنده
چکیده
An extension of the traditional modulation transfer function (MTF), the detective MTF, is proposed for the evaluation of the resolution of X-ray imaging detectors with non-uniform efficiency on the scale of individual detector elements. The dMTF is shown to give a better representation than does the MTF of the improved resolution reported when the readout of the detectors is enhanced.

Performance of Digital Radiographic Detectors: Quantification and Assessment Methods
Digital radiographic systems are gaining widespread use in many clinical applications. Digital radiographic detectors vary dramatically with respect to the technologies that they use and the particular implementation. Their performance thus varies from system to system. It is often necessary to characterize the performance of a digital radiographic or mammographic detector for optimization, des...
متن کاملPractical Evaluation of Image Quality in Computed Radiographic (CR) Imaging Systems
A number of complementary metrics are available to assess the performance of digital X-ray imaging systems. However, the sensitivity of these metrics to changes in the electro-optical imaging chain is poorly understood. Some of the commonly used metrics include Contrast to Noise ratio (CNR), limiting spatial resolution, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), Noise Power Spectrum (NPS) and the Dete...
متن کاملSimple method for modulation transfer function determination of digital imaging detectors from edge images
A simple variant of the edge method to determine the presampled modulation transfer function (MTF) of digital imaging detectors has been developed that produces sufficiently accurate MTF values for frequencies up to the Nyquist frequency limit of the detector with only a small amount of effort for alignment and computing. An oversampled edge spread function (ESF) is generated from the image of ...
متن کاملA comparison of digital radiography systems in terms of effective detective quantum efficiency.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare digital radiography systems using the metric effective detective quantum efficiency (eDQE), which better reflects digital radiography imaging system performance under clinical operating conditions, in comparison with conventional metrics such as modulation transfer function (MTF), normalized noise power spectra (NNPS), and detective quantum effici...
متن کاملDigital X-Ray Imaging
The use of X-ray image receptors that produce a digital image is becoming increasingly important. Possible benefits include improved dynamic range and detective quantum efficiency, improved detectability for objects of low intrinsic contrast, and reduced radiation dose. The image can be available quickly. The display is separated from the image capture so that processing and contrast adjustment...
