This study assesses the accuracy of a Philips Computed Radiography (PCR) system for measuring X-ray exposure in diagnostic imaging. The PCR system demonstrates reliable quantitative X-ray exposure measurements, with accuracy between 1.6% and 5.9%.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiological Imaging
  • Diagnostic Radiology

Background:

  • Accurate X-ray exposure quantification is crucial for diagnostic radiography.
  • Photostimulable phosphor computed radiography (PCR) systems offer potential for quantitative imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a specific PCR system for quantitative X-ray exposure measurements.
  • To identify and assess factors influencing measurement accuracy in PCR systems.

Main Methods:

  • An exponential function was used to calibrate digital pixel values against X-ray exposure.
  • Investigated factors affecting accuracy: repeatability, background noise, plate sensitivity variations, latent image decay.
  • Calibration range: 5.1 x 10(-9) to 2.0 x 10(-5) C/kg.
