Abstract
Clinical evaluation of an experimental digital chest unit using a solid-state linear detector array has provided information regarding the postpatient photon flux required for clinically acceptable images. Results from computer simulation show that energy subtraction imaging of the chest by the method of x-ray-tube voltage switching will be unsuccessful unless it can be demonstrated clinically that a much lower number of photons per pixel is acceptable in energy subtracted images. In addition, x-ray-tube loading limitations preclude imaging of the abdominal and pelvic regions with this technology.
