Abstract:
A quantitative parameter characterizing the differences between the set-size object distinguishability and contrast at a preset dose is offered for use as an alternative to the comparative techniques systems currently used in visualizing the X-ray images. The parameter of threshold contrast distinguishability contains data on the quant efficiency of system detection. Noteworthily, the threshold contrast distinguishability, unlike the quant efficiency detection, enables a sufficiently simple experimental determination.

01:24X-ray Imaging
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...
01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
