X-Ray Intensifying Screens

- A cone-beam volume CT using a 3D angiography system with a flat panel detector of direct conversion type: usefulness for superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck tumors. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The development of flat panel detectors (FPDs) has made cone-beam CT feasible for practical use in a clinical setting. Our purpose...

- A lead apron for closed femoral nailing.

- Analysis of the kinestatic charge detection system as a high detective quantum efficiency electronic portal imaging device. Megavoltage x-ray imaging suffers from reduced image quality due to low differential x-ray attenuation and large Compton scatter compared with kilovoltage...

- Cerebral developmental venous anomalies associated with head and neck venous malformations. PURPOSE: To study cerebral developmental venous anomalies in patients with extensive venous malformations of the head and neck. METHODS: All patients had...

- Clinical application of a flat-panel X-ray detector based on amorphous silicon technology: image quality and potential for radiation dose reduction in skeletal radiography. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare images obtained with a self-scanning, flat-panel X-ray detector based on amorphous silicon technology...

- Clinical comparison of full-field digital mammography and screen-film mammography for detection of breast cancer. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work is to compare full-field digital mammography and screen-film mammography for the detection of breast cancer in a...

- Comparing image quality of flat-panel chest radiography with storage phosphor radiography and film-screen radiography. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate image quality of a large-area direct-readout flat-panel detector system in chest radiography, we conducted an observer preference...

- Comparison of calcification specificity in digital mammography using soft-copy display versus screen-film mammography. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare specificity in the interpretation of calcifications in soft-copy reviewing of digital mammograms versus...

- Comparison of interpretation of digitized images and screen-film radiographs.

- Comparison of mammographic screen-film systems.

- Comparison of the efficacy of digital subtraction and film-screen angiography of the lower limb: prospective study in 50 patients. We prospectively compared current digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with conventional film-screen angiography (FSA) of the lower limb for evaluation of...

- Conventional screen/film vs reduced exposure photostimulable phosphor plate imaging in lower extremity venography: an ROC analysis. Half-exposure phosphor plates used in venography substantially reduce the total X-ray exposure to a patient while increasing the chance that all images will...

- Conventional vs computed radiography: evaluation of myelography. A prospective study was performed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of conventional film-screen (FS) imaging with computed radiography (CR) in myelography....

- Digital and screen-film mammography: comparison of image acquisition and interpretation times. OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare acquisition times and interpretation times of screening examinations using screen-film mammography and...

- Digital radiography versus conventional radiography in chest imaging: diagnostic performance of a large-area silicon flat-panel detector in a clinical CT-controlled study. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of a digital large-area silicon flat-panel detector with that of a...

- Do flat detector cardiac X-ray systems convey advantages over image-intensifier-based systems? Study comparing X-ray dose and image quality. The recent introduction of "flat-panel detector" (FD)-based cardiac catheterisation laboratories should offer improvements in image quality and/or dose...

- Dose reduction in patients undergoing chest imaging: digital amorphous silicon flat-panel detector radiography versus conventional film-screen radiography and phosphor-based computed radiography. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the radiation dose delivered to patients undergoing clinical chest imaging on a full-field digital amorphous silicon...

- Earlier detection of breast cancer: an overview.

- Effects of reduced exposure on computed radiography: comparison of nodule detection accuracy with conventional and asymmetric screen-film radiographs of a chest phantom. OBJECTIVE. Radiographic exposure has been thought to have little impact on the diagnostic quality of chest computed radiography because of automatic digital...

- Efficacy of digital radiography for the detection of pneumothorax: comparison with conventional chest radiography. As part of our continuing evaluation of the clinical applicability of digital radiography, we compared the abilities of radiologists to detect pneumothoraces...
