چکیده

We developed a dynamic phantom for use in routine checks. This phantom can be used to physically evaluate image lag that occurs in dynamic images. It has a unique measurement method. ROIs on the target are chosen, and, with the position of ROIs fixed on the image, changes in pixel value are detected physically when the target passes through the ROIs over time and perceived as image lag. Thus, it was possible to physically detect different intensities of image lag lasting less than one second while maintaining the same intensity trends. The checking technique we propose with the dynamic phantom that we developed could be effective for routine checking of fluoroscopy X-ray machines, and could become an established method.

An Efficient Ring Artifact Reduction Method Based on Projection Data for Micro-CT Images

Ring artifacts are very troublesome in a flat-panel based micro computed tomography (micro-CT) since they might severely degrade visibility of the micro-CT images. Unlike ring artifacts in other types of micro-CTs such as image-intensifier based micro-CT, ring artifacts in a flat-panel detector based micro-CT are hardly removable since the sensitivity of the pixel elements in a flat-panel detec...

ID: 14240 Title: Efficacy of a linear lag correction algorithm in an a-Si flat-panel x-ray detector Purpose: Lag in a-Si flat-panel detectors (FPD) causes significant artifact. To date, most correction models have assumed a linear, time-invariant model (LTIM). We investigated detector response as a function of incident exposure. Method and Materials: The physics theory for charge trapping in FP...

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...

Assessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method

Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...

Investigation on effect of image lag in fluoroscopic images obtained with a dynamic flat-panel detector (FPD) on accuracy of target tracking in radiotherapy.

Real-time tumor tracking in external radiotherapy can be achieved by diagnostic (kV) X-ray imaging with a dynamic flat-panel detector (FPD). The purpose of this study was to address image lag in target tracking and its influence on the accuracy of tumor tracking. Fluoroscopic images were obtained using a direct type of dynamic FPD. Image lag properties were measured without test devices accordi...
