Study Notes

Digital Radiography Image Processing Summary

Indirect CCL collects light for the detector elements called dexels.
Pixels must have electronic, light-sensitive, and detector areas to be useful.
High fill factor is desired for better spatial resolution, with 100% fill factor being ideal.
Digital matrix consists of voxels (depth) and pixels (picture elements).
Initial stages of digital image receptors produce an analog signal, which is later digitized.
Image processing options include edge enhancement and smoothing.
Edge enhancement accentuates edges and is effective for fractures and high-contrast tissues.
Default edge enhancement values are usually optimal, but radiologists may adjust them.
Edge enhancement is helpful for detecting scaphoid fractures and making boundaries more distinct.
Smoothing reduces display contrast and visibility of quantum mottle.
Convolution involves manipulating digital images through mathematical operations using kernels.
Spatial smoothing algorithms aim to reduce quantum mottle without losing clinically significant detail.
