    Image Unsharpness Presentation

    The document discusses image unsharpness in radiographic images. It defines image unsharpness as the loss of spatial resolution. There are four main factors that can contribute to unsharpness: geometry, photographic/acquisition, movement, and absorption. Geometric unsharpness is caused by the setup of the radiographic equipment. Photographic unsharpness depends on the detector system. Motion unsharpness results from voluntary or involuntary movement. Absorption refers to the inherent unsharpness caused by the object being imaged. The document provides examples and explanations of each type of unsharpness and how they can be reduced to improve image quality.

    OBJECTIVES

    • Define the term Image Unsharpness.


    • State the factors which contribute to Image Unsharpness.

    • Discuss the types of Radiographic Unsharpness, their causes and how they
    can be reduced.
    TERMS TO NOTE:

    • Image Sharpness- The clarity of the edge or the outline of a structure in a


    diagnostic image. Image sharpness is a contributing factor to the quality of
    a radiographic image, determined by spatial resolution.
    • Spatial Resolution- is referred to the number of pixels utilized in
    construction of a digital image.

    • Source to image receptor distance(SID)- The distance between the x-ray


    tube and the image receptor,

    • Object to image receptor distance(OID)- The distance between the area


    under examination and the image receptor.
    WHAT IS IMAGE UNSHARPNESS?

    •Image unsharpness is defined


    as the loss of spatial resolution
    in a radiographic image.
    FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO IMAGE

    • Geometry (Ug)
    • Photographic/ Acquisition
    factors(Up)
    • Movement (Um)
    • Absorption (inherent factors)(Ua)
    • Geometric Unsharpness- refers to the • There are three principle factors that play
    loss of definition that is the result of simultaneously: Source size/focal spot size,
    geometric factors of the radiographic SID(Source-to-Image
    equipment and setup. Is caused by Distance and OID(Object-to-Image
    aspects of geometry of the x-ray beam. Distance). How geometric unsharpness can
    be reduced. geometric
    RADIOGRAPHIC UNSHARPNESS

    Photographic Unsharpness - is the result of the detector system employed. Every


    detector type has a limiting factor which determines its maximum spatial
    resolution.
    • Example: Reflective screen
    • Film Crystals size
    • Duplitised screen (emulsion)
    MOTION UNSHARPNESS

    • Voluntary: referred to as motion that is under conscious control of the will.


    • Involuntary: motion attributed to the physiological action of the of the body.
    • Movements of organs or the patient as a whole can affect the out come of
    the final image, this changes is referred to as motional Unsharpness: Um
    Factors that can prevent movement
    • Explanation of the procedure to the patient
    • Immobilization of the part.
    • Reduction of exposure time
