Digital radiography is a field of great interest; a wide range of different imaging systems is now becoming available and it is very important to have powerful instruments to characterize and compare their imaging properties. We have evaluated imaging properties for several digital radiographic systems in terms of resolution and noise properties. For the resolution properties, we have used the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and the presampling MTF, for undersampled systems. We have characterized noise properties by Detective Quantum Efficiency, that is an absolute parameter that allows comparison between different systems. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract
Digital radiography is a field of great interest; a wide range of different imaging systems is now becoming available and it is very important to have powerful instruments to characterize and compare their imaging properties. We have evaluated imaging properties for several digital radiographic systems in terms of resolution and noise properties. For the resolution properties, we have used the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and the presampling MTF, for undersampled systems. We have characterized noise properties by Detective Quantum Efficiency, that is an absolute parameter that allows comparison between different systems. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
