Energy optimization in chest radiography

Creators

Description

A theoretical approach is used to predict optimum beam spectra for various regions of the chest so that image information content is maximized. A computer model was used to calculate the signal-noise ratio (SNR), patient exposure, and contrast due to beam spectra in the 50-to 200 kVp range. Experimental rare-earth scatter fractions and standard attenuation data were input
