Dose reduction and image quality improvement of chest radiography by using bone-suppression technique and low tube voltage: a phantom study.

Objective: To clarify the relationship between entrance surface dose (ESD) and physical image quality of original and bone-suppressed chest radiographs acquired using high and low tube voltages.Methods: An anthropomorphic chest phantom and a 12-mm diameter spherical simulated nodule with a CT value...
