Digital and Computed Musculoskeletal Radiography. A study on spatial resolution, diagnostic accuracy, image quality and radiation dose.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Digital (datorbaserad) teknik för bildframställning är idag regel för samtliga moderna modaliteter i diagnostisk radiologi, såsom ultraljud, datortomografi, magnetisk resonanstomografi, scintigrafi, och digital subtraktionsangiografi. Digital bildteknik medför fördelar vid bildbearbetning, demonstration, bildkommunikation, samt arkivering. Majoriteten av undersökningarThe aims of the study were to investigate the applications of digital radiography to musculoskeletal radiology. In the first part of the research, the diagnostic accuracy of digital images as compared to film-screen radiographs was studied and the spatial resolution requirements evaluated. Using computed radiography (CR), the pathological changes included were erosions, soft tissue swelling, peri
