Abstract:
LANGUAGE="EN">Summary. In the field of radiological research methods, digital imaging is becoming increasingly prevalent. Apart from computerised tomography, magnetic resonance tomography and angiography, also in projection radiography, traditional film/screen imaging is more and more being replaced by digital imaging using digital image-intensifier and storage phosphor technology. Digital imaging offers various new possibilities in image processing, storage and transmission. This may yield additional diagnostic information, dose reduction and fast availability of images. However, an inappropriate parameter selection for imaging and post-processing as well as a lack of integration in the entire organisation may lead to a rejection of this innovative technology.

X-ray Imaging
Computed Tomography
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...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
