A Study On Image Output Method In The Radiography Training Simulator

Abstract

Background/Objectives: A simulated training can be induced to suit the actual situation by outputting the changed image according to various exposure doses by applying image processing filter technique during the implementation phase of radiography training simulator. The purpose of this study is to present an image output method using image processing filter in radiography training simulator. Methods/Statistical analysis: The applied image processing filter adjusts the Window width of the original image by calculating the difference between the target tube voltage and the applied tube voltage(kVp) and adjusts the image contrast by weighting value. Next, the Window level is adjusted by calculating the difference between the applied tube current and the target tube current(mA) and the enhancement is adjusted according to the weighted value. Findings: Image with adjusted Window Width, Window Level, Contrast, and Enhancement according to the exposure dose by applying the developed image processing filter Improvements/Applications: In future studies, a method that can output the image by reflecting the region of interest (ROI) of the collimator will be proposed.
