Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the performance of a digital chest imaging system using a contrast-detail (C-D) phantom. In the initial step, 76 sample images of the C-D phantom were produced by changing the doses from 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, to 2.0 times the dose for a screen-film (S/F) system. The sample images were analyzed by five radiological technologists and two medical physicists, and the image quality figure (IQF) was determined. The quality of each image was examined, and appropriate doses were determined from the calculated IQF to obtain the same image quality for other digital chest imaging systems. The method of determining IQF from C-D phantom analysis was very useful for comparing image quality and determining radiographic techniques.
