  1. Digital Radiographic Image Processing and Manipulation Chapter 7

  2. What happens in the reader (CR) pre processing? • How is the image constructed digitally? • LET’S FIND OUT!!! We’ve learned how images are captured….now

  3. THE READER IS TO BE INFORMED AS TO WHAT EXAM WILL BE PROCESSED. • So when you “flash” the cassette, or scan with a bar code reader or in DR, choose the patient and the examination and the views that are to be done PRE-PROCESSING

  4. HISTOGRAM Graphical representation of optimal densities collected by exposure data recognition . Exposure data recognition finds the collimated edges , disregards the scatter outside of these edges Searches for anatomy This area is the source of exposure data indicator

  5. CR sampling, Carter pg 110 and Page 492 Bushong Notice the collimated area of the lungs in A and find the associated area in B on histogram and C on the response cure. Do the same for the black areas around the chest.

  6. THE SHAPE OF THE HISTOGRAM IS ANATOMY SPECIFIC

  7. histogram http://bloggingradiography.blogspot.com/2007/08/anatomy-of-histogram.html

  8. High energy=less frequency of the same density = narrower histogram Low energy=more frequencies of the same density= wider histogram

  9. The Nyquist Theorem How are signals converted from analog to digital?

  10. THIS IS STILL THE BEST EXPLANATION AND RESOURCE

  11. When sampling(converting from analog to digital) a signal, the sampling frequency must be greater than the bandwidth of the input signal • http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Multimedia/nyquist.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Multimedia/node149.html&h=420&w=529&sz=6&hl=en&start=10&um=1&tbnid=zyDOLJNUH6mM8M:&tbnh=105&tbnw=132&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnyquist% NYQUIST THEOREM

  13. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS? PAGE 113 CARTER Automatic rescaling

  14. LUT Automatic rescaling to achieve appropriate contrast on an image http://www.sprawls.org/resources/DIGPROCESS/module.htm#13

  15. LUT –HISTOGRAM OF BRIGHTNESSS LEVELS VALUES FROM IMAGE ACQUISITION PG 114 IN CARTER NOTE HOW VALUES LESS THAN 50 ARE BLACK AND THOSE HIGHER THAN 150 ARE WHITE

  16. Lut histogram

  17. CCD’s • FPIR • PSP/CR systems • DR (direct or indirect) • High dynamic range of receptors which is the ability of the receptor to respond to exposure • Example of Receptors?? Exposure latitude

  18. MTF The ability to faithfully reproduce the image from the object…More light in the process of capturing image, the lower the MTF. High MTF is preferred

  19. Contrast manipulation Changing brightness, contrast post processing. “No amount of adjustment can take the place of proper technical factor selection”

  20. Improving visibility of small high contrast areas (ex: finger fractures) • Usually signals are averaged to shorten processing time and storage • In Edge Enhancement, less pixels are included in the average=more true in signal “size” Edge Enhancement

  21. Smoothing Reduction of noise and contrast. Good for visualizing fine bone tissues

  22. Let’s discuss image manipulation • Window Level • Window Width • Stitching

  23. PSP • CRT • ADC • IP • CR • DR • DQE • PMT • PACS REVIEW THOSE PESKY ACRONYMS!

  24. Bit-binary digit, 0 or 1.Grouped in bunches of 8 = byte • Pixel pitch • Structured needle phosphor vs Turbid phosphor • Available gray scale Bit depth=shades of gray • Measure of distance from middle of one pixel to another • Active layer structure/organized vs. random –Mosby pg 68
