Advances in computed radiography: dual-side readout.

i a t t a t r m e T p e o a f T s r a s fl q a C fi w m o l e l w c p r q b l B c d I P e P omputed radiography is the generic erm given to the class of digital adiographic detectors that use hotostimulable storage phosphors PSPs) to absorb incident x-ray enrgy with the subsequent storage of roportional charge at localized enrgy traps and subsequent laseroderated photostimulated lumiescence (PSL) to measure and onvert the trapped energy into a orresponding digital image. Reent advances in computed radioraphic (CR) detector and readout echnology have been the introducion of dual-side readout methods, tructured PSP detectors, and parllel readout methods [1]. This echnical note reviews the characeristics and benefits of dual-side eadout methods for CR imaging, hich were first introduced with rototype digital mammographic assette-based systems in about 001 and subsequently with clinial radiographic systems from 2004 o the present.
