최근 본 연구팀에서 기존의 선 조사방식 디지탈 X-선 촬영시스템의 단점을 보완하여 촬영시간을 0.7초로 단축시키고 환자에의 X-선 조사량을 3mR 정도로 감소시킨 디지탈 X-선 촬영시스템을 개발한 바, 이 논문에서는 이 시스템의 감도 특성, 산란 성분 구성률, 양자검출 효율, 변조전달함수, 그리고 콘트라스트 상세도 등과 같은 물리적 및 영상특성들을 조사함으로써 그 촬영성능을 평가하였다. 조사 결과 이 시스템의 감도특성은 입사에너지에 비례하며, 기존의 필름-스크린 보다 적은 X-선 조사량으로도 더 우수한 콘트라스트 해상도를 지녔음이 나타났다. 그 이유는 뛰어난 산란선 제거능력과 양자검출 효율 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

2013년 국민건강보험심사평가원의 의료기관 데이터베이스에 따르면 1118개의 병.의원에 영상의학과가 개설되어있다. 이들 병원에는 CT, 투시촬영장치, 일반촬영장치와 같은 의료용 방사선 발생장치가 운영되고 있다. 이 중에서도 일반촬영장치는 가장 많은 병원에서 운영되고 있는 장비이다. 일반촬영장치의 경우 film-screen 장치에서 digital radiography 로 급격하게 변하고 있다. 하지만 그 촬영기법은 films-screen 기법을 그대로 사용하고 있어 디지털 장치의 맞는 촬영기법의 개발을 위한 전반적인 실태 조사가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 의료기관의 일반촬영기법에 관한 조사를 시행하여 실제 병원에서 사용하고 있는 일반촬영기법의 기술적 항목에 대한 현황을 파악하여 보았다. 본 연구에서는 의료기관에서 일반적으로 사용되는 일반촬영기법 26개에 대한 촬영기법의 전국 단위 조사에서 흉부, 두부, 척추, 골반에 해당하는 검사에 대한 분석을 시행하였다.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has regulated the definition and requirements of the exposure index (EI). In this study, we calculated the EI of several image receptors in digital radiography system of two different manufacturers according to the method as per IEC, and evaluated the relationship with incident air kerma. To calculate the EI, w e obtained the characteristics curve of each image receptor by increasing the incident air kerma at RQA 3, 5, 7 and 9, respectively. As a result, there was no significant difference in the EI values between different image receptors of the same manufacturer, but EI values of different manufacturer was different despite the same air kerma was incident. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of the digital radiography systems is important in order to use EI as a tool for measuring and managing the radiation dose.

Amorphous selenium based flat panel detectors convert incident x-ray to electric signal directly. Flat panel detectors gain more interest real time medical x-ray imaging. TFT array and electric readout circuits are used in this paper offered by LG.Philips.LCD. Detector is based on a $1536{\times}1280$ array of a-Si TFT pixels. X-ray conversion layer(a-Se) is deposited upper TFT array with a $400{\mu}m$ by thermal deposition technology. Thickness uniformity of this layer is made of thickness control system technology$({\leq}5%)$. Each $139{\mu}m{\times}139{\mu}m$ pixel is made of thin film transistor technology, a storage capacitor and collecting electrode having geometrical fill factor of 86%. This system show dynamic performance. Imaging performance is suited for digital radiography imaging substitute by conventional radiography film system.

Purpose : Image plate (IP) is substituted for film in computed radiography. This study is to investigate into a variation of contrast and detail by the number used of image plate in computed radiography. Materials and Methods : A Contrast-Detail(CD)-RAD 2.0 phantom(Nijmegen hospital, The Netherlands) was used for this study. The computed radiography(CR) CD-RAD phantom images were acquired at 40 kVp, 160 mA, 1.6 mAs, and small focus with the Shimadzu general radiography UD-150B-10 system and Fuji FCR 5000 image process system with speed of 200. The IP used including once, 5000 times, and 10000 times also was used. The numerical value of image quality figures (IQF) was produced by CD-RAD analyser(the program is installed in the directory), and then contrast-detail curve was drawn. Results : In this study, the value of IQF was 3.53 in IP used once, 3.40 in 5000 times, and 3.22 in 10000 times. Conclusions : There was a variation of contrast-detail curve by the number used of IP with contrast-detail phantom in computed radiography. Therefore, it is necessary that the IP with lower IQF and a shift of contrast-detail curve to the lower left part is used.

We have investigated imaging performance of digital rediography system by measured several imaging properties such as sensitivity characteristic, scatter fraction, modulation transfer function and detective quentum efficiency. The results show that digital rediography system has linear sesitivity to incident energy, excellent scatter elliminaility and high detective quentum efficiency, but poor modulatio transfer function.

The properties of these detectors can be controlled by electronics and exposure conditions. Flat-panel detectors for digital diagnostic imaging convert incident x-ray images to charge images. Flat panel detectors gain more interest real time medical x-ray imaging. Active area of flat panel detector is $14{\times}17$ inch. Detector is based on a $2560{\times}3072$ away of photoconductor and TFT pixels. X-ray conversion layer is deposited upper TFT array flat panel with a 500m by thermal deposition technology. Thickness uniformity of this layer is made of thickness control technology(5%) of thermal deposition system. Each $139m{\times}139m$ pixel is made of thin film transistor technology, a storage capacitor and charge collection electrode having geometrical fill factor of 86%. Using the separate driving system of two dimensional mosaic modules for large area, that is able to 4.2 second per frame. Imaging performance is suited for digital radiography imaging substitute by conventional radiography film system..

In this paper, the information capacity, the Integrate performance measure of digital radiography system has been quantitatively analyzed. The effect of various factors affecting the information capacity of the digital radiography system in multi-stage detection processes has been considered and analyzed In detail. The results show that the more Information capacity can be obtained with the smaller detector cell area, despite of the decreasing signal to noise ratio due to the reduced number of X-ray photons per detector cell. And also has been Indicated that the Increase of the information capacity may be severely lost by the addition of electric noise in final read-out stage.

Since $Gr{\"{o}}nadhl$ et al introduced a digital subtraction radiography into periodontal dignosis in 1983, many reports using this system has aimed to assess the peroiodontal disease activity and the alveolar bone changes after periodontal treatment. The present study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of digital subtraction radiography for asessing an alveolar bone changes in 3 months after periodontal flap surgery. Serial intraral raiographs were taken from 5 normal subjects and 6 periodontally diseased patients using customized bite blocks attached to film holder in fxation device and digitized by image processing system(consisting of IBM 386, digital frame grabber, CCD camera, Image-pro II software). And the reference parameters were measured by pixel unit and compared with respective radiographs. The serial radiographs showed a little and statistically insignificant difference in reference paramenters. The conventional intraoral radiographs, the subtraction images and the clor enhanced subtraction images were reviewed by 4 examiners and the examiner's agreement rates were compared. The subtraction images and its color enhanced images showed higher examiner's agreement rate than the conventional radiographs. And the propotions of sites diagnosed with bone loss or gain after periodontal surgery were highter in the subtraction images and its color enhanced images than in the conventional radiographs. Especially, in color enhanced images, the unber of bone agin sites tended to increase according to post-surgery periods. These results indicate that projection geometry could be standardized with the divice used in this study, and the subtraction radiography may be useful to assess an alveolar bone changes after periodntal flap surgery.
