抄録

Sources of noise in a computed radiography (CR) were investigated by measuring three different Wiener spectra (WS) : (1) laser printer Wiener spectra including CR film, (2) Wiener spectrum of CR film (single emulsion), and (3) overall Wiener spectra. To measure the noise contributed by the laser printer, "image data" (i.e., image having a constant pixel value) were produced on a personal computer and were sent to the laser printer in the CR system. The noise level of laser printer was comparable to that of the CR film at low spatial frequencies (<4 cycles/mm), but the noise level at high spatial frequencies (>4 cycles/mm) was higher than that of the film. Laser printer Wiener spectra obtained in the perpendicular direction relative to the laser beam scanning direction were comparable at low spatial frequencies, but greater at high spatial frequencies, to those obtained in the parallel direction. And a spectral peak around 10 cycles/mm was obtained in the Wiener spectrum in the perpendicular direction. The peak is caused mainly by a banding artifact. Overall Wiener spectra in the parallel and perpendicular directions show the same tendency as those of the laser printer, but the noise level of the overall Wiener spectrum was increased mainly by X-ray quantum mottle at low spatial frequencies. In conclusion, the noise of laser printer greatly increases the overall Wiener spectrum at high spatial frequencies.
