数字X线摄影平板探测器斜射效应的研究

目的 探讨DR平板探测器在倾斜X线管摄影时,斜射效应与X线管倾斜角度的关系.方法 使用Kodak DR3000系统,X线管分别倾斜0°、10°、20°、30°、40°对R-1型矩形波测试卡进行摄影,计算X线管不同倾斜角度的预采样调制传递函数(MTF).采用配对资料的Wilcoxon符号秩和检验(倾斜角0°作为控制组)比较不同X线管倾斜角度的MTF系数值.结果 X线管倾斜角度越大,预采样MTF曲线的位置越低,X线管倾斜40°时的MTF曲线明显居于最低位置.斜射效应对低频的组织结构影响小,对中、高频的组织结构影响大.与0°的结果比较,倾斜角10°的MTF参数差异无统计学意义(Z=-1.893,P=0.058),倾斜角20°、30°、40°时的MTF参数差异均有统计学意义(Z值分别为-2.547、-2.666、-2.666,P值均＜0.05).结论 对于DR平板探测器,X线管倾斜角度越大,斜射效应越严重,X线管倾斜角度不宜超过10°.

Evaluation of parallactic unsharpness caused by flat panel detector in digital radiography

Objective To evaluate the parallactic unsharpness caused by flat panel detector in digital radiography using different incident angle of central ray. Methods R-1 square-wave phantom was exposed by Kodak DR3000 system with X-ray tube angled 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40° respectively. Then,presampled modulation transfer function (MTF) was calculated for each case above. Subsequently,experimental data were processed and Wilcoxon signed ranks test were performed by statistic software SPSS 10. 0, in which P ＜ 0. 05 was considered as statistically significant difference. Results The presampled MTF curves of incident angle of 0°-40° degree, were presented orderly from top to bottom, especially the incident angle of 40° was obviously the lowest. The incident angle of 0° was considered as a control group and other groups were compared against it. There was no statistically significant difference for MTF of incident angle of 10°( Z = - 1. 893 ,P = 0. 058 ), while there were significant difference for MTF of incident angle of 20°, 30°, and 40° ( Z = - 2. 547, - 2. 666, - 2. 666, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions For flat panel detector in digital radiography, the bigger the incident angle of central ray, the larger the parallactic unsharpness. In addition, this effect has less influence on structures of low spatial frequency than those of high spatial frequency.
