Ideally, medical x-ray imaging systems should be designed to deliver maximum image quality at an acceptable radiation risk to the patient. Quality assurance procedures are employed to ensure that these standards are maintained. A quality control protocol for direct digital radiography (DDR) systems is described and discussed. Software to automatically process and analyze the required images was developed. In this paper, the initial results obtained on equipment of different DDR manufacturers were reported. The protocol was developed to highlight even small discrepancies in standard operating performance.
理想情况下,医学 X 射线成像系统的设计应在可接受的患者辐射风险下达到最佳图像质量。质量保证程序可确保这些标准得以维持。本文描述并讨论了一种用于直接数字化射线摄影(DDR)系统的质量控制协议。开发了软件来自动处理和分析所需的图像。本文报告了在不同 DDR 制造商的设备上获得的初步结果。该协议旨在突出标准运行性能中的微小差异。
