Detection of Porcine Bone Lesions and Fissures

Abstract

Compared with analog film-screen systems, the lower spatial resolution of the digital selenium and digital luminescence radiography systems does not affect detectability of fissures and bone lesions in porcine bone. Selenium is effective in skeletal radiography for detecting fissures and bone lesions. With digital selenium and digital luminescence radiography, the surface dose can be cut to half that required for 200-speed film-screen systems without losing any diagnostically relevant information.
