There are automatic exposure devices and computed tomography (CT) detectors, as well as those used within general radiographic and Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2fluoroscopic imaging.This chapter will begin by looking generally at the types of detector we may come across in the radiography department, but the fEbook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2

The main ones include:■Absorption efficiency is clearly desirable that a detector isEbook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2
able to absorb as many of the incident X-rays as possible. The overall absorption is dependent on the physical density (atomic number, size, thicknessCHAPTER 6__________PRINCIPLES OF RADIATION DETECTION AND IMAGE FORMATIONINTRODUCTIONThe aim of this chapter is to explore how radiation is detected, m Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2 is dependent on the physical area of the face plate minus the interspace between individual detectors and side and end walls.■Dose efficiency is influenced by both conversion and capture efficiency. Typical dose efficiency is anywhere between 50 and 80 per cent for individual detector designs, but Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2nearer 30-60 per cent for flat panel detectors.■Temporal response should be as fast as possible and is the time it takes the detector to absorb the raEbook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2

l signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when compared against a theoretical ideal detector. It is essentially a measure of how much of the available signal is dCHAPTER 6__________PRINCIPLES OF RADIATION DETECTION AND IMAGE FORMATIONINTRODUCTIONThe aim of this chapter is to explore how radiation is detected, m Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2e detector system. A DQE ol 50 per cent means that approximately 50 per cent oi the available quanta is used by the system (compared to an ideal system) to produce a signal.If we consider two imaging systems with different DQEs, but the same SNR, the one with the higher DQE would require less signal Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2 and consequently less radiation exposure for the same eventual image quality. So, in some ways, it can almost be used as a measure of dose efficiencyEbook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2
.The actual measures of true DQEs are a little more complex as DQE is also affected by spatial frequency. The DQE of a particular system can also varyCHAPTER 6__________PRINCIPLES OF RADIATION DETECTION AND IMAGE FORMATIONINTRODUCTIONThe aim of this chapter is to explore how radiation is detected, m Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2The same system will probably have a slightly different DQE for different kv values. As such, manufacturers often supply a series of graphs of DQE plotted against spatial frequency and kv.Figure 6.1 illustrates the complex relationships involved in assessing DQE. The main reason it is often quoted i Ebook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2s that it is a helpful measure of detector performance but, if taken at face value, can mislead without careful consideration of how it is derived.IonEbook Clark''s essential physics in imaging for radiographers: Part 2
