The purpose to recognize change of average pixel value of acquisition image by control panel's density and right set up method of speed (sensitivity) and exposure dose(mAs) change that dose in purpose digital flatpanel-detector. X -ray generator DHF-158H2(Hitachi, Japan). Detector CXDI 4OG(Canon, Japan), 12 : 1 grid and exposure ray 135 kVp, 250 mA, 10 ms. focus-detector distance 180 cm and used AEC mode. DICOM reflex analysis program used image J that is digital reflex analysis program that offer in United States America National Health Center(National Institutes of Health : NlH) phantom used chest phantom(Anthromorphic : Flukebrome.medicaI USA). An experiment chest phantom that consist by formation equivalence material use because density value( -3${\sim}$+3) in X-ray control panel and seep that is speed step(slow, medium, fast) each control experimentalize. image analysis reflex neted through an experiment using image j each image compare. These was change in dose according to slow, medium, fast and density's change in an experiment result. According to detector sensitivity and density condition set, dose was relationship dissimilarity 500% from 200%. The dose came highest when is density +3 to slow. and dose more increases gray scale's extent could know that rise. Could know whether how equipment set is important through this experiment. cause of disease which change by digital radiography system forward is thought to increase more, it is considered that suitable education by this and continuous interest about equipment need absolutely.
