Improving the contrast-to-noise ratio by averaging in scintillation detectors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

From the point of view of the image quality, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) is a crucial parameter. In case of the scintillation detectors, which are widely used in X-ray radiography and computed tomography, CNR is determined by the static image noise caused mainly by the non-uniformity of the response of particular pixels, and by the stochastic noise, composed of the inherent noise of the detector and the X-ray beam fluctuation. The static noise can be suppressed using appropriate correction methods, such as the flat field correction. The stochastic component of noise can be lowered by averaging of more images of the same scene, but this approach leads to an increased time of the tomography, which can be an undesirable effect. This paper shows a method that separates the stochastic noise component from the static noise component and thus allows to determine the maximum reachable CNR in the given case and the minimum number of images to be averaged for reaching required CNR. The method is intended to be used for optimized setting of the detector and X-ray source parameters in tomography to obtain the best possible results in a reasonable time.
