CR artifacts Discussion and Solutions.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 CR artifacts Discussion and Solutions [Abstract] The author CR system by analyzing the characteristics of a variety of artifacts from the scanner’s mechanical structure, working principle, IP board structure, image processing, laser printing, operator error, etc. described CR causes artifacts. Ways to reduce artifacts CR countermeasures. [Keywords:] CR artifact; image quality; Solutions With the widespread popularity of CR systems and applications, CR show the advantages attendant the same time, image quality is also more and more attention radiographers. We believe that the artifacts that affect the biggest factor in CR image quality. Understanding of how the imaging process generate these artifacts in a variety of factors will help to eliminate these deficiencies. 1 Materials and methods CR images collected in our hospital in recent years has produced the artifacts. KONICA IP panels are used by KONICA 170 digital scanner (hereinafter referred to as the number of scanning devices) scan. Then uses KONICA 793 dry laser film printer laser printer integration, while CD recording is stored in the workstation. Radiography system uses 10000 East 500 MAX-ray machine. Flat bed frame and chest X-ray photography using movable grids, grid ratio 12:1. 2 Results To exclude the impact of external factors, analyzing various types of CR imaging artifact characteristics and frequency of occurrence. Their artifacts can be broadly divided into: before and after the sub-images overlap artifacts, IP board cracking artifact, IP panel scan artifact caused by the card, the black stripe artifacts, white flake artifacts, IP boards and cassette dust and PMT (Light guide device) of a white thick artifacts, artifacts caused by scattering lines, the latter improper handling artifacts and photographic conditions resulting from excessive artifacts. 3 Discussion 3.1 before and after the sub-images overlap artifacts (except the operation repeated
