[Reduction in radiation scatter during radiographic magnification techniques (author's transl)]. 1975

A Stargardt, and W Angerstein

The reduction in scatter during magnification techniques is compared with the effect of grids. The results of extensive measurements concerning scatter and distance in a water phantom are shown in 24 diagrams. The various factors were altered as follows: distance 0-1.5 m., phantom thickness 0-27.5 cm., area 5 cm. x 5 cm. - 30 cm. x 30 cm. and kilovoltage 50-150 kv. The amount of scatter immediately behind the phantom is compared with that through a grid by observing image quality for given amounts of scatter. This "grid-equivalent" image quality can be used to determine the circumstances under which a magnification technique can be employed without using a grid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv). Sievert Units,Dosage, Radiation,Gray Units,Gy Radiation,Sv Radiation Dose Equivalent,Dosages, Radiation,Radiation Dosages,Units, Gray,Units, Sievert
D011858 Radiographic Magnification Use of optic and geometric techniques to enhance radiographic image quality and interpretation. It includes use of microfocal X-ray tubes and intensifying fluoroscopic screens. Magnification, Radiographic,Magnifications, Radiographic,Radiographic Magnifications
D012542 Scattering, Radiation The diversion of RADIATION (thermal, electromagnetic, or nuclear) from its original path as a result of interactions or collisions with atoms, molecules, or larger particles in the atmosphere or other media. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Radiation Scattering,Radiation Scatterings,Scatterings, Radiation
