Control System of Digital X-ray Systems by Quality Parameters

Abstract

The paper proposed a control system of X-ray digital equipment on quality indicators. Two basic parameters were determined: image quality and patients` radiation load. A method for monitoring these indicators is proposed. The criterion of equipment suitability is to obtain control digital X-ray images of diagnostically acceptable quality at a fixed low entrance dose in the plane of the digital detector. It is shown that the control system of X-ray digital equipment based on indicators of quality is the most appropriate in situations of deficit of financial resources, since minimizing the costs for the purchase and running of control systems, does not require highly skilled technical personnel, and reduces the duration of the equipment inspection.
