Image optimisation and dose reduction in computed radiography: pa chest and contrast detail phantom

Chest x-ray examination nowadays commonly performed using computed radiography (CR) system. This system allows post processing functions which manipulate the digital image. With these functions, too high radiation exposure can still produce acceptable images. Thus there is a tendency for radiographe...
