Abstract:The results of a numerical simulation indicate that scanning equalization radiography (SER) provides the opportunity to use film/screen combinations of significantly higher contrast than currently practical in conventional chest radiography. These calculations which attempt to maximize overall image contrast while minimizing areas of over and under exposure demonstrate that optimum film gradient varies inversely with scanning beam area. Furthermore, we show that in an SER system which we have optimized for che… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
