Abstract

Chest radiograms obtained by using Fuji Computed Radiography(FCR) system were compared to conventional film/screen radiograms. The FCR images showed better image quality in diagnostic informations than the conventional chest images. In FCR, the radiation exposure to patient for chest examination could be reduced up to one tenths of conventional chest examination. The main advantages or FCR were considered to depend on the contrast processing and frequency processing properties. The use of FCR in clinical work may improve both diagnostic quality and radiation exposure.
