Measures of Image Quality

Refresher Courses

Presented on November 26, 2006
Presented as part of RC125: Categorical Course in Diagnostic Radiology Physics: From Invisible to Visible—The Science and Practice of X-Ray Imaging and Radiation Dose Optimization

Participants

Michael James Flynn PhD, Presenter: Researcher, Eastman Kodak Company Researcher, Agfa Healthcare Researcher, Shimadzu Corporation

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Measure of Detail - Learn how radiographic geometry, detector MTF, visual acuity, and viewing distance influence the ability to see detail in radiation images. 2. Measures of Noise - Learn how radiographic technique and detector NPS influence quantum mottle in relation to anatomic noise. 3. Measures of Contrast - Learn how radiographic factors influence contrast in relation to noiseand patient radiation dose.
