Description

The influence of pre-filtering of the X-ray tube for a reduction of patient dose load is investigated as well as its influences on image contrast, input dose and tube load. The use of pre-filtering in angiography allows the highest possible dose reduction without adverse effects on the image and tube load with the exception of cardioangiogaphy and in infant radiology.

Abstract (German)

Untersucht wird der Einfluss der Vorfilterung der Roentgenroehre zur Reduktion der Patientenstrahlenbelastung auf Bildkontrast, Einfalldosis und Roehrenbelastung. Die Anwendung der Vorfilterung in der Angiographie ermoeglicht die groesstmoegliche Strahlenreduktion ohne Beeintraechtigung der Bildqualitaet und der Roehrenbelastung mit Ausnahme der Kardioangiographie und in der Kinderradiologie.
