Distinguishing the indistinguishable : Identification of signal aliasing with a novel x - ray detector design for improving image signal - to - noise ratio
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer and the second leading cause of mortality amongst Canadian women [1]. Regular mammography screening is currently the best method of early detection. Recently, a 10-year study of the Ontario Breast Screening Program revealed that not all screening centers are the same [2]. In particular, sites with digital x-ray detectors that acqu...
متن کاملDetective Quantum Efficiency of the Medipix Pixel Detector
We have measured the intrinsic performance of a digital X-ray detector, the Medipix1, by examining the total detective quantum efficiency (DQE). We studied how the DQE depends on both the incident photon energy and spatial frequency. Reported here is the calculation of the detective quantum efficiency for the case of a 300 m thick silicon diode detector attached to the Medipix1 readout chip. Th...
متن کاملArea x-ray detector based on a lens-coupled charge-coupled device
An area x-ray detector constructed using commercially available “off-the-shelf” parts is described and its performance is characterized. The detector consists of a 1024 1024 pixel charge-coupled device CCD camera optically coupled to x-ray sensitive phosphor screen using a standard 35 mm camera lens. The conversion efficiency, spatial nonuniformity, spatial resolution and the detective quantum ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Analyses of X-Ray Absorption, Noise, and Detective Quantum Efficiency Considering Therapeutic X-Ray Spectrum in Portal Imaging Detector
The Bremsstrahlung spectrum from a 6-MV linear accelerator (LINAC) was obtained and used as an input X-ray source in the simulation to estimate several important physical quantities of the detector in a therapeutic X-ray portal imaging system, such as quantum and energy absorption efficiencies, Swank factor, and detective quantum efficiency (DQE). In addition, we have obtained a spatial distrib...
متن کاملCharacterization of Imaging Performances of Gadolinium-oxysulfide Phosphors Made for X-ray Imaging by Using a Sedimentation Process
The development of a pixel-structured scintillator has recently been exploited to confine optical transport onto a corresponding photodiode pixel. This conceptual design of scintillators may provide high detection efficiency while preserving high spatial resolution in digital X-ray imaging detector systems. The sedimentation approach is one method to fill gadolinium-oxysulfide phosphors into a ...
