Digital radiography with an electronic flat-panel detector: First clinical experience in skeletal diagnostics
نویسندگان
چکیده
November 1998 2 medicamundi X-ray examinations of the skeleton are, after chest exposures, the most frequently performed type of radiological examination, representing about 30 % of the total. With a few exceptions, projection radiography forms the basis for the diagnosis of skeletal disorders and, in most cases, provides the information for the definitive diagnosis. In traumatology, rheumatology and oncology, projection radiography is still indispensable, even when non-radiological examination methods, (e.g. clinico-chemical and immunological) examination methods are taken into account. Digital radiography

Digital Radiography Using Flat Panel Detector for the Non-Destructive Evaluation of Space Vehicle Components
Digital technology has been introduced into radiography very recently but the conventional film based technique will be totally out of the arena in no time as what has happened in the photography field. The state-of-art technology is direct digital Xray imaging based on Flat Panel Detector technology in which the X-ray image is displayed on the computer without the intermediate optics or mechan...
متن کاملEvaluation of New Digital Detectors for High Resolution Radiography
Abstract: In the actual study, two digital detectors were investigated : an amorphous silicon flat panel and a TDI multilinear detector. The contrast and IQI sensitivity was selected to compare flat panel and film radiography. The influence of X-ray conditions was assessed in the case of flat panel. Spatial resolution of both digital detectors was assessed by adapting the geometrical magnificat...

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 کاملGoing digital can help lower radiation dose
Digital imaging first entered diagnostic x-ray departments with the development of CT scanners in the early 1970s. Although digital techniques matured slowly, major advances have been made over the last decade. It will be interesting to assess how patient doses have also changed during this period. Digital technologies are often divided into two groups: indirect and direct readout systems. The ...
