all
which (SID / OID / SOD) governs sharpness
SOD
how to get SOD from sid and oid
Sid - oid
Unsharpness formula w/ and w/o Focal spot
fs x oid/sod OR sod/oid
Change in SID greater than - should increase tech (mA)
10 %
Mag formula
SID/SOD
Anode angle increase =
Larger effective spot
decrease spatial
Which end is more intense b/c of anode heel
cathode 25% more intense, thicker part goes here
Spaital resolution 4 variables
- motion
- SID, OID ,SOD
- Focal spot size
- size of dels / pixels
sharpness formula
sod/oid
Del drop out is b/c of
TFT failure (IR)
Del saturation
max charge del can hold
Nyquist theorem
highest spatial resolution that can be recorded
Nyquist theorem controlled by
pixel pitch
MTF
modulation transfer function
how well DR can record spatial
Best way to measure blur in the system
MTF (o=worst)
MTF depends on
del pitch
prenumbra is controlled by
SOD OID focal spot size
Limiting factor for spatial resolution
pixel
Pixel size formula
FOV/matrix
Pixel size decrease = - spatial & - matrix
increase, increase
Pixel pitch
space between pixels
Pixel bit depth
max # of brightness
base of 2
Spatial frequency
min object size
spatial frequency formula
1/2(Psize)
Attenuation coefficient
% of beam absorbed by pt
Attenuation coefficient based on
voxels
Analog to digital converter selects
selects value for dynamic range
DQE
Detective quantum efficiency
converts xrays to signal
- determines overall efficiency of system
DQE
Dels fill factor
% of semiconductor surface area
Indirect CR CCD
