Description

Fan beam digital radiography systems are referred to by the term 'scanned projection radiography', or 'SPR'. The most familiar scanned projection radiography devices are the localization systems employed on computed tomography scanners which use the CT detector and electronics to generate a 'computed radiograph' of the anatomy. The authors discuss temporal and energy subtraction techniques, clinical applications and some pending developments in spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and scan speed. (Auth.)
