Breakthroughs in Radiography: Computed Radiography

CE Email comments/questions to [email protected], fax 800-556-3288, or log on to www.VetLearn.com Computed radiography (CR) is a digital imaging technology and digital x-ray image management system that has been used in human and veterinary medicine since the 1980s. CR helps eliminate many of the disadvantages of traditional radiography. A storage phosphor plate collects the pattern of x...

Computed Radiography in Perspective

Introduction Imagine the excitement accompanying the first realization that noninvasive visualization of bones was possible. German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was working in a darkened room on November 8, 1895, experimenting with electrical charges flowing through a vacuum tube, when a piece of paper coated with barium platinum cyanide glowed. Coincidentally, it had been left near a card...

Quantitative assessment of computed radiography quality control parameters.

Quality controls for testing the performance of computed radiography (CR) systems have been recommended by manufacturers and medical physicists' organizations. The purpose of this work was to develop a set of image processing tools for quantitative assessment of computed radiography quality control parameters. Automatic image analysis consisted in detecting phantom details, defining regions of ...

Artefacts found in computed radiography.

Artefacts on radiographic images are distracting and may compromise accurate diagnosis. Although most artefacts that occur in conventional radiography have become familiar, computed radiography (CR) systems produce artefacts that differ from those found in conventional radiography. We have encountered a variety of artefacts in CR images that were produced from four different models plate reader...
