Practical guidelines for radiographers to improve computed radiography image quality

Practical guidelines for radiographers to improve computed radiography image quality

Computed Radiography (CR) has become a major digital imaging modality in a modern radiological department. CR system changes workflow from the conventional way of using film/screen by employing photostimulable phosphor plate technology. This results in the changing perspectives of technical, artefacts and quality control issues in radiology departments. Guidelines for better image quality in di...

Comparison of Image Quality Test Methods in Computed Radiography

Optimization of Dose and Image Quality in Full-fiand Computed Radiography Systems for Common Digital Radiographic Examinations

IntroductionA fine balance of image quality and radiation dose can be achieved by optimization to minimize stochastic and deterministic effects. This study aimed in ensuring that images of acceptable quality for common radiographic examinations in digital imaging were produced without causing harmful effects. Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted in three phases. The pre-optimization inv...

Experiences to improve the quality of a practical parasitology course for Students of Laboratory Sciences

Introduction: Medical parasitology courses are highly sensitive to medical students, especially students in laboratory and medical sciences. Therefore, the aim of this study is Expression of experiences to improve the quality of a practical parasitology course for Students of Laboratory Sciences, especially the training session of laboratory tests performed on stool. Methods: In this research,...

Computed radiography versus mobile direct radiography for bedside chest radiographs: impact of dose on image quality and reader agreement.

AIM To asses the image quality and potential for dose reduction of mobile direct detector (DR) chest radiography as compared with computed radiography (CR) for intensive care unit (ICU) chest radiographs (CXR). METHODS AND MATERIALS Three groups of age-, weight- and disease-matched ICU patients (n=114 patients; 50 CXR per acquisition technique) underwent clinically indicated bedside CXR obtai...
