Abstract:
This study used to evaluate the effect of anode
heel in conventional X-ray tube
Abstrac
in image quality femur and humerus dry phantom are exposed, the image was
obtained using dry phantom in the Modern Medical Center, Antalia Center ,
Ear Nose and throat hospital with marks in anode side and cathode side. A
total of 10 images was obtained using dry phantom, the exposure factors used
to obtain the image, 50 (Kvp), 5 current time product (mAs), and the ESDs was
established at a reference point of 100 cm from tube focus for the range of
current time product (mAs) and tube potentials encountered in clinical practice.
The main results were that the densities increase toward cathode except in
digital radiography, which are the same identify in literature, also the variation
in densities is due to the variation in x-rays intensities but this does not affect
on image quality especially in DR, due to wide capability of post processing of
the image which result in enhancing image contrast and visibility and reduced
the
effect
of
variation.
