<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an edge phantom for evaluating the sharpness based on an edge step response of a digital radiography system. <P>SOLUTION: The edge phantom evaluates the sharpness response of a radiation recording and detecting system. The edge phantom generates a radiograph by being exposed to radiation from a radiation source and evaluates the radiograph recorded and detected by the system. The edge phantom is designed such that a line locating outside of a plane perpendicular to the top face of the edge phantom and extending from the focus of the radiation source to a point on a curved or flat side face of the phantom matches with the linear part of the side face containing the point. The flat or curved side face of the phantom is used for the evaluation of sharpness. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
