Optimizing Contrast Resolution in Digital Chest Radiography by Varying Copper Filtration and kVp.

Purpose To measure the effect of increasing kilovoltage peak (kVp) and copper filtration thickness on entrance skin exposure and contrast resolution for chest radiography performed using digital flat-panel detectors. Methods A phantom-based experiment was conducted in which 24 radiographs of a quali...
