칼라 CRT(cathode ray tube)의 화질을 평가하기 위하여 일차원 CCD(charge coupled-device)를 사용한 MTF(modulation transfer function)측정장치를 구성하였다. CCD의 분광감도와 화소의 크기와 간격을 고려하여 MTF 측정값을 보정하였다. Spot 크기, 비디오 대역폭, 새도우 마스크, 디스플레이 휘도, 그리고 주변 조명이 디스플레이의 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 칼라 CRT 모니터에서 화면의 균일성과 주변 조명에 따른 화질 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 MTFA(modulation transfer function area)를 사용하여 나타내었다.

Computed radiography(CR) has been widely used in the field of diagnostic radiography since digital X-ray image was introduced. The imaging performance of CR system was studied by analyzing the digital image data of the CR images which are the outcomes of the whole imaging system composed of image plate(IP), laser digitizer, analoge-digital convertor, and a given image processing unit. In this study, we used a conventional CR system made by Agfa. From the flat field image of 150$\times$150 image pixels, signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) was calculated. SNR of the CR image increases in proportion to logarithm value of the X-ray exposure irradiated on the IP. SNR is less than about 6 at the exposure below 0.2mR and is more than 10 at the exposure above 0.54mR. In our study, most of images obtained by the smaller exposures less than 2.0mR can not be readable. In general, the minimum value of the SNR ranges from 3 to 5. We obtained modulation transfer function(MTF) by analyzing the bar pattern image which was made under conditions as follows: X-ray tube potential was 55kVp, the IP exposure was 0.54 mR, and the distance between X-ray source to IP was 2m, where bar pattern was located on the IP. MTF is 23% at 2.5lp/mm spatial frequency. Provided that the MTF of noise equivalent modulation is 10%, the CR system has the limiting spatial resolution of 3.2lp/mm. If the image sharpness is evaluated by the spatial frequency where MTF is 50%. the corresponding spatial frequency is 0.5$\sim$0.75lp/mm. MTFA(Modulation Transfer Function Area) is 1.0lp/mm. Compared with the Fuji CR whose MTFA is 1.1lp/mm, Agfa CR in this study shows almost same MTFA performance.
