摘要

Computed Equalization Radiography (CER) was designed to increase visualization of mediastinal structures without affecting lung contrast. CER optimizes the image by obtaining two 1-second fan beam scans. The initial low-dose prescan determines the location of the lungs by means of a stationary krypton gas detector. During the equalization scan, this information is used to position 35 beam attenuators in real time so as to increase exposure of the mediastinum while maintaining ideal optical density over the lungs. Eight observers analyzed 20 pairs of posteroanterior (PA) and lateral radiographs obtained on conventional and CER units. On the PA images, three of four mediastinal areas analyzed were visualized better in CER images, while there was no difference in lung detail. There were no appreciable differences in the lateral projection between the CER and conventional images. Contrast on the PA radiograph was preferred on the CER image. CER provided modest improvement in visualization of mediastinal structures and maintained lung contrast without degrading lung detail on the PA image. CER had no major effect on visualization in the lateral images.
