The detective quantum efficiency of screen-film systems
Description
The technical and intuitive origins of the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of radiation detectors is presented in some detail, including its generalization to include spatial frequency dependence as proposed by Shaw. Additionally, the basic components of DQE for radiographic imaging systems, sensitometry, modulation transfer function, and noise power spectrum are discussed in simple terms. Finally, an analysis of the DQE and sources of noise of screen-film combinations is presented in terms of the characteristics of a specific imaging system, including X-ray quantum noise, film noise, a residual screen noise term, and the noise associated with the conversion of x-rays to light
