IMAGE QUALITY AND ARTIFACTS 1
WHY YOU SEE WHAT YOU SEE… • The films or images have different levels of density – different shades of gray • X-rays show different features of the body in various shades of gray. • The gray is darkest in those areas that do not absorb Xrays well – and allow it to pass through • The images are lighter in dense areas (like bones) that absorb more of the X-rays. 2
IMAGE PRODUCTION 1. Primary Beam– The beam of photons, B 4 it interacts with the pt’s body. 2. Remnant (exit) Beam-The resulting beam that is able to exit from the patient. 3. Scatter Radiation– Radiation that interacts with matter & only continues in a different direction – not useful for image production. 4. Attenuated Beam– Primary radiation that is changed (partially absorbed) as it travels through the pt. 3

KVP MORE ENERGY = MORE PHOTONS PASSING THOUGH TISSUE & STRIKING THE IMAGE á 15% k. Vp = doubling of exposure to the film 15% k. Vp = halving of exposure to the film 15% rule will also change the contrast of the image because k. V is the primary method of changing image contrast. Remember : 15% change ( ) KVP has the same effect as doubling or ½ the MAS on density 12

EFFECTS OF COLLIMATION (BEAM RESTRICTION) ON SCATTER 26
GRIDS • A device with lead strips that is placed between the patient and the cassette • Used on larger body parts to reduce the number of scattering photons from reaching the image 27
GRIDS 28
GRIDS ABSORB SCATTER – PREVENTS IT FROM REACHING THE IMAGE 29
GRID NO GRID CONTROLS CONTRAST 30
DETAIL RESOLUTION, ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH SHAPES 31
DETAIL Factors that affect detail • Image sharpness • Spatial resolution • Motion • Smallest separation of • SID two lines or edges • Focal spot size • Measured by lp/mm • OID • Image receptor type 32
RECORDED DETAIL • The degree of sharpness in an object’s borders and structural details. • How “clear” the object looks on the radiograph 33
RESOLUTION TEST TOOLS LINE PAIRS/ MM Depicts how well you can see the differences in structures More lines=more detail 34
35
MOTION • Can be voluntary or involuntary • Best controlled by short exposure times • Use of careful instructions to the pt. • Suspension of pt. respiration • Immobilization devices 36
Blurring of image due to patient movement during exposure. 37
38
SID • Shine a flashlight on a 3 -D object, shadow borders will appear “fuzzy” -On a radiograph called penumbra • Penumbra (fuzziness) obscures true border • Farther the flashlight from object = sharper borders. Same with radiography. 39
40
OID OBJECT TO IMAGE DISTANCE • The closer the object to the film, the sharper the detail. • OID , penumbra , sharpness • Structures located deep in the body, radiographer must know how to position to get the object closest to the film. 41
42
The position of the structure in the body will influence how magnified it will be seen on the image The farther away – the more magnified 43
DISTORTION THE IMAGING OF THE TRUE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE OBJECT 44
DISTORTION FACTOR INFLUENCING DISTORTION • Misrepresentation of the size or shape of an object • Two types: • Size Distortion • magnification • Shape distortion • • SID OID Beam Angulation Body Part-Beam alignment • Foreshortening • elongation 45
46
40” SID VS 72” SID WHICH ONE IS WHICH? 47
Which one was taken at 72”? 48
Minimal magnification small OID 49
50
SIZE DISTORTION & OID • If source is kept constant, OID will affect magnification • As OID , magnification • The farther the object is from the film, the more magnification 51
DISTORTION FACTOR INFLUENCING DISTORTION • Misrepresentation of the size or shape of an object • Two types: • Size Distortion • magnification • Shape distortion • • SID OID Beam Angulation Body Part-Beam alignment • Foreshortening • elongation 52

A = TRUE SHAPE B & C = SHAPE DISTORTION (ELONGATION OF PART) 54
D & E = SHAPE DISTORTION (FORESHORTENING OF PART) 55
IMAGE DISTORTION • When the part to be imaged – does not lay FLAT with the IR (cassette) • If the Central Ray is not perpendicular to the IR • CR should be at right angle with the cassette 56
