Computed Radiography (CR) can be a viable alternative for conventional film-based industrial radiography. This new technology uses flexible and re-usable storage phosphor plates that can be used in a fashion similar to film. To ensure that CR provides Probability of Detection (POD) performance for flaw indications that is equivalent to that of film radiography, international standards have been...

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...

This paper presents an effective two-step scheme for automatic object detection in computed radiography (CR) images. First, various structure elements of the morphological filters, designed by incorporating available morphological features of the objects of interest including their sizes and rough shape descriptions, are used to effectively distinguish the foreign object candidates from the com...

OBJECTIVES To assess the use of soft copy reporting of computed radiography (CR) images in determining intravenous long line tip position in neonates and compare visibility rates with hard copy printed images. METHOD A retrospective study of all long lines inserted on the neonatal unit over a period of one year was performed. Forty five lines were inserted in 30 neonates over this time. Asses...

The transition from conventional screen-film radiography (SFR) to computed radiography (CR) or digital radiography (DR) can involve an increase in patient radiation doses due to the wide dynamic range of the digital imaging systems, which allows overexposure with no adverse effect on image quality. The current study intends to measure and compare the radiation dose to adult patients during (i) ...

BACKGROUND Conventional radiography is insufficient for diagnosis in a small but not unimportant number of hip fractures, and secondary imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is warranted. There are no convincing observer variation studies performed for conventional radiography or CT in occult fractures, and no large materials for MRI. PURPOSE To assess obse...
