Flat-panel detector (FPD) digital radiography systems have direct and indirect conversion systems, and the 2 conversion systems provide different imaging performances. We measured some imaging performances [input-output characteristic, presampled modulation transfer function (presampled MTF), noise power spectrum (NPS)] of direct and indirect FPD systems. Moreover, some image samples of the NPSs were visually evaluated by the pair comparison method. As a result, the presampled MTF of the direct FPD system was substantially higher than that of the indirect FPD system. The NPS of the direct FPD system had a high value for all spatial frequencies. In contrast, the NPS of the indirect FPD system had a lower value as the frequency became higher. The results of visual evaluations showed the same tendency as that found for NPSs. We elucidated the cause of the difference in NPSs in a simulation study, and we determined that the cause of the difference in the noise components of the direct and indirect FPD systems was closely related to the presampled MTF.
