Abstract:and the software developed for segmentation and optical density analyses. Methods The non-dominant hand is radiographed together with an aluminium wedge used for calibration and correction of the variability associated with the XR technique and digitalisation process. A single exposure at 46 kV is performed and the resulting film is read with an AgfaScan T1200 device with predefined settings. Results To assess the reproducibility of our technique, XR hand films of 17 patients were scanned 5 times in different … Show more
