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.
