What factors affect X-ray quality?
Beam Quality describes the shape of the energy spectrum (i.e. the energy distribution of the x-rays) and beam quantity describes the total intensity of the spectrum (i.e. the area under the x-ray spectrum curve). In this post we describe the factors affecting beam quality including: kVp, target material, and pre-patient collimation.
Mar 6, 2016 · The quality of a beam of X-rays is a measure of its penetrating power. As we saw in Section 21.6, the quality of the beam is related to its average photon energy.
Oct 3, 2022 · Bremsstrahlung x-rays are produced by electron deceleration secondary to atomic field effects, producing diagnostic range x-rays from this energy loss. X-ray quantity is determined by mAs, kVp, distance, and filtration, while kVp and filtration determine x-ray quality.

Oct 17, 2022 · Controlling exposure factors is the best way to reduce quantum noise. Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an important metric that combines the effects of contrast, resolution, and noise. The higher the signal and lower the noise, the better the image quality.

Jun 8, 2016 · In this chapter, we will characterize an x-ray beam in terms of its ability to penetrate materials of known composition. The penetrating ability of the radiation is often described as the quality of the radiation. An ideal way to describe the quality of an x-ray beam is to specify its spectral distribution, that is, energy fluence in each ...
Oct 17, 2022 · kVp is directly proportional to the average energy of the X-ray spectrum produced, referred to as X-ray quality. [14] kVp plays a role in adjusting the amount of penetration and exposure in an acquisition.
Mar 6, 2016 · A radiographic image is created by passing an x-ray beam through the patient and interacting with an image receptor, such as an imaging plate in computed radiography (CR). The variations in absorption and transmission of the exiting x-ray beam structurally represent the anatomic area of interest.
