Computation of detective quantum efficiency of medical x-ray radiographic screen-films
Detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is one of the important measures in the assessment of image quality and detector performance. Detective quantum efficiency of radiographic screen-film depends on noise power spectrum (NPS), modulation transfer function (MTF), gamma of the film and photon fluence. D...

Detective quantum efficiency of radiographic screen-film depends on noise power spectrum (NPS), modulation transfer function (MTF), gamma of the film and photon fluence. DQE of two types of screenfilms namely Lanex Regular/T-Mat G/RA and Lanex Regular/T-Mat L/RA were determined using MTF and NPS data, separately.

DQE of the screenfilms were computed by MATLAB program for three optical densities 0.7, 1.0 and 1.4. The X-ray source was at 81 kVP. MTF of Lanex Regular/T-Mat G/RA was found to be slightly better than Lanex Regular/T-Mat L/RA for spatial frequencies between 0.5 and 3.0, but it was found to be slightly better MTF for Lanex Regular/T-Mat L/RA for spatial frequencies between 5.2 and 7.0. NPS of Lanex Regular/TMat G/RA was found one and a half times bigger than Lanex Regular/T-Mat L/RA. DQE comparison of these two types of screen-films was made.

Detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is one of the important measures in the assessment of image quality and detector performance. Detective quantum efficiency of radiographic screen-film depends on noise power spectrum (NPS), modulation transfer function (MTF), gamma of the film and photon fluence.
