The paper shows how a radiation diagnostic information service system has been set up at the Moscow Public Health Committee. The structure of the service's database that has been introduced in the Research and Practical Center of Medical Radiology and become a core of the developed system is discussed in detail. The prospects for developing the system, which are also associated with the use of Internet capacities, are given.
The paper deals with the synthesis of algorithms for non-linear control of the degree of contrast of digital chest images by bringing the baseline histogram of brightness to the prearranged form and with practical analysis of the efficiency of the algorithms derived.
Different definitions available in the literature on the quantum efficiency of X-ray detectors are presented and compared. The relationship of this parameter to spatial frequencies for quantum accounting receivers and energy accumulating ones is analyzed. A procedure is proposed for evaluating the quantum efficiency of the detectors in the area of zero spatial frequencies, which is rather simple and requires no special testing equipment.
Great emphasis is laid on automatic control of the most important parameters of X-ray image, such as contrast sensitivity and dynamic range, in the digital X-ray apparatuses that have recently found a wide clinical application in Russia and foreign countries. Methods and softwares are proposed for exercising this control.
The paper analyzes methods for assessing the quality of an image in X-ray complexes (emphasis being laid on digital systems) by using the test object detail-contrast. Two possible variants of design of the test object are presented. Data of experimental assessment and comparison of the parameter detail-contrast for number of X-radiation converting receivers are given.
Great emphasis is placed on a FO-01 orthopantomographic phantom test for checking the position of the projection boundary of an isolated layer, its shape and thickness. The basic specific feature of the phantom test is that one can rather simply check the adjustment of orthopantomographs of different kinds (including digital ones) and make their comparative assessment by the projection of an isolated layer with certain resolution. Examples of projection nomograms of an isolated layer for different orthopantomographs, which are obtained by this test object are given.
The paper analyzes the specific features of monitoring the basic characteristics of formation of images in the digital X-ray diagnostic systems and considers the potentialities of transfer from traditional expert assessments to more objective and precise experimentally calculated methods.
The case study deals with designing the formalized flow for digital photofluorogram and with results of their clinical testing. Recommendations are defined for improving the protocol program.
Theoretical and experimental research results related with the influence of correlation of signals in neighboring elements of digital X-ray receiver-transformer produced on the evaluation of the output ratio noise/signal and, as a consequence, on the evaluation of quantum registration efficiency are described in the paper.
Described are the results of testing of methods of the new 01-22-04 standard designed for monitoring the image-quality parameters of digital X-ray converter-receivers (made alongside with tests of digital X-ray diagnostic units ProScan-7000 and ProScan-2000).
The possibility of the use of a special test phantom for checking the biopsy needle positioning accuracy in mammographic stereotactic devices is discussed. The test phantom meets the requirements of the state standard GOST R50267.45.
The results of the use of specialized software for experimental and computational evaluation of the characteristics of digital X-ray detectors are analyzed.
The effect of various computing procedures on the results of estimation of parameters used for MTF calculation is analyzed. Experimentally evaluated modulation transfer functions of some types of digital X-ray image detectors are presented.
The paper deals with the choice of electron equipment for X-ray diagnostic devices with digital image processing which are intended for population-based mass prophylactic examinations of lung. Guidelines for the optimization of the package of electron devices for processing and storing of data and for obtaining hard copies of X-ray films.
