Abstract
To verify the effect of the frame rate on image quality in cardiology, we used an indirect conversion dynamic flat-panel detector (FPD). We quantified the input-output characteristics, and determined the modulation transfer function (MTF) and normalized noise power spectrum (NNPS) of the equipment used in cardiology at 7.5, 10, 15, and 30 frames per second (fps). We also calculated the noise power spectrum for still images and videos at all frame rates and obtained the image lag correction factor r. The input-output characteristics and the MTF agreed even when the frame rate was varied. The NNPS tended to decrease uniformly as a function of frequency at increasing frame rates. The factor r decreased as a function of the frame rate, and its minimum value was 30 fps. Our results suggest that high-frame-rate imaging in cardiology using indirect conversion dynamic FPDs is affected by image lag.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal Radiological Physics and Technology is to provide a forum for sharing new knowledge related to research and development in radiological science and technology, including medical physics and radiological technology in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy among many other radiological disciplines, as well as to contribute to progress and improvement in medical practice and patient health care.
