Article Synopsis
- Differences in patient size present challenges for radiographers when selecting acquisition parameters for high-quality radiographs, particularly in adult chest radiography (CXR).
- The study used a contrast detail phantom simulating different body thicknesses (9 to 17 cm) to evaluate the effects on image quality (IQ) and radiation dose, employing varying tube potentials and automatic exposure control.
- Results indicated that lower tube potentials yielded the best image quality figures (IQF) while higher thicknesses increased both IQF and radiation dose, suggesting a need to balance image quality and patient safety during examinations.
Introduction: The detectability of low contrast detail (LCD) is a method used to assess image quality (IQ) in neonatal radiography; however, there is a lack of data on the relationship between LCD detectability and visual IQ. The study aims at investigating the relationship between the LCD detectability and visual IQ and pathology visibility (PV).
Methods: Several acquisition parameters were employed to obtain a group of images from a neonatal Gammex chest phantom.
