Project Overview

The project on "Comparative Analysis of Image Quality in Digital Radiography Systems" aims to investigate and compare the image quality produced by different digital radiography systems used in medical imaging. Digital radiography has become increasingly prevalent in the field of radiology due to its numerous advantages over traditional film-based radiography, such as faster image acquisition, lower radiation dose, and improved image manipulation capabilities. However, the quality of images produced by various digital radiography systems may differ based on factors such as image resolution, noise levels, contrast resolution, and artifacts. This research project will involve a comprehensive review of the existing literature on digital radiography systems, focusing on studies that have evaluated and compared the image quality of different systems. The literature review will provide a solid foundation for understanding the various factors that can impact image quality in digital radiography. The research methodology will include the selection of a diverse range of digital radiography systems commonly used in clinical practice. Images of standardized phantoms and patient radiographs will be acquired using these systems under controlled conditions to ensure consistency and accuracy. Objective metrics such as modulation transfer function, noise power spectrum, and contrast-to-noise ratio will be utilized to quantitatively assess the image quality of each system. The findings of this study will be presented and discussed in detail in chapter four of the research report. By comparing the image quality metrics obtained from different digital radiography systems, this project aims to identify the strengths and limitations of each system in terms of producing high-quality diagnostic images. The discussion will also explore the potential implications of these findings on clinical practice, patient care, and decision-making processes in radiology. In conclusion, the research on the comparative analysis of image quality in digital radiography systems has significant implications for improving the quality and efficiency of medical imaging services. By providing valuable insights into the performance of various digital radiography systems, this study can help healthcare institutions and radiology departments make informed decisions when selecting imaging equipment and optimizing imaging protocols. Ultimately, the project seeks to contribute to the advancement of digital radiography technology and enhance the overall quality of patient care in radiology.
