The aim of this work was to study the dependence of image quality in digital chest and pelvis
radiography on tube voltage, and to explore correlations between clinical and physical …

The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) has been employed in optimizing beam quality for imaging
a chest phantom using digital radiography. The relationship between CNR and tube …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a computer model to
produce realistic simulated computed radiography (CR) chest images using CT data sets of …

Digital x-ray detectors are now the detector of choice in many X-ray examinations. They
have been accepted into clinical practice over the past decade but there are still ongoing …

A Monte Carlo based computer model of the x-ray imaging system was used to investigate
how various image quality parameters of interest in chest PA radiography and the effective …

Objective. To implement a hybrid method, which combines analytical tracking and
interaction simulation using Monte Carlo (MC) techniques, in order to model photon …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to derive an optimum radiographic technique for
computed radiography (CR) chest imaging using a digitally reconstructed radiograph …

Aims: Chest X ray is the first choice for the investigation of cardiovascular and respiratory
disease. Radiographer technologists are responsible for managing the radiation exposure …

A software package, incorporating two computational patient phantoms, has been
developed for optimizing X-ray radiographic imaging. A tomographic phantom, visible …

X-rays have been used to produce medical images ever since their discovery by Wilhelm
Röntgen in 1895 (see Chapter 1). In the United Kingdom, it has been estimated that there …
