Multi-frequency processing (MFP) leads to enhanced image quality (IQ) of radiographs. This study is to determine the effect of third generation MFP (M3) on IQ in comparison to standard second-generation MFP (M2). 20 cadavers were examined and post-processing of radiographs was performed with both M2 and M3. Three readers blinded to the MFP used for each image independently compared corresponding image pairs according to overall IQ and depiction of bony structures and soft tissue (+ 2: notably better > 0: equal > - 2: notably worse). A significant deviation of the median grade from grade 0 (equal) (p < 0.01) for each evaluator A, B and C speaks against an equal image quality of M2- and M3-images. M3-images were categorized with better grades (+ 1, + 2) in 87.7% for overall image quality, in 90.4% for soft tissue and 81.8% for bony structures. M3 images showed significant higher averaged SNR and CNR for all investigated lower extremities than that of M2 images (0.031 < p < 0.049). The newest generation of MFP leads to significantly better depiction of anatomical structures and overall image quality than in images processed with the preceding generation of MFP. This provides increased diagnostic accuracy and further decreased radiation exposure.

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).

D001842 Bone and Bones A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.
