The utilization of video systems in diagnostic X-ray imaging has been around for quite some time. In addition to the visual diagnostic value of images obtained by such systems, the X-ray video systems also offer the potential for extracting quantitative information from the images. In this chapter we will not deal with quantitative determinations based on distance measurements. Even though the quantitation potential has been under investigation for the past decade,(1–3) it was not until the introduction of digital subtraction angiography (DSA)(4) that it received a concentrated effort. DSA makes it possible to visualize a small amount of radiopaque contrast agent within the vessels by means of various digital image enhancement methods which are discussed elsewhere in this book (Chapters 3, 7). Image processing takes place after the digitization of the video signal. Many users may assume that since the output is digital format, it must be as accurate as the data in computed tomography (CT) systems. Unfortunately, this is not true, and the reason is the existence of some basic differences between the CT and image intensifier—television (IT—TV)-based digital X-ray imaging systems. In digital fluoroscopy (or radiography), one usually uses large-area detectors such as an X-ray II. Due to poor detection geometry, the scattered photons within the patient seriously degrade the information obtained by a digital fluoroscopic system.
