摘要: In digital radiography system, the diagnostic utility of image quality mainly depends on processing technique data. The aim this work is to quantitatively evaluate our aSi:H/CsI(Tl) flat-panel based system using a chest phantom. study human visual property and detector response four standard radiation qualities (from RQA 3 9) was performed. high low contrast resolution assessed with two commercially available systems same detector. resulting signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) nine objects in lung, heart subdia-phragm regionns, relative spatial lung field were comparable those other systems. Low automatically detected SNRs computed by analysis algorithm. quantitative procedure designed removes observer’s subjectivity. addition, It can be easily applied for detectability measurement object modalities. Image algorithm
