Principles of Radiographic Imaging

Page 2: Geometric Properties Distortion

ObjectivesObjectives• Define Radiographic Distortion• Differentiate between Size and Shape Distortion• Summarize and analyze the relationship of factors that

control and affect distortion.• Perform calculations to determine image magnification

and percent magnification.• Explain the effects SID and OID have on image distortion• Discuss various methods of minimizing distortion• Explain elongation and foreshortening• Describe the routine relationships between central ray,

anatomical part, and image receptor•

Assessing Radiographic DistortionAssessing Radiographic Distortion• Radiographic misrepresentation of either

the size or shape of the anatomic part is called distortion

• 2 Types of DistortionDISTORTION

Factors Affecting Distortion

Page 6: Geometric Properties Distortion

Size Distortion - Magnification• An increase in the object’s image size

compared with its true, or actual size• There is a percentage of magnificationmagnification in

every radiographic image• As the percentage of magnification magnification

increasesincreases, the level of geometric unsharpnessunsharpness also increasesincreases

Influences of Size DistortionInfluences of Size Distortion

• Size distortion is influenced by• OID and SIDOID and SID

– Object-to-Image DistanceObject-to-Image Distance– Source-to-Image DistanceSource-to-Image Distance

OIDOID

OID has a OID has a direct relationship direct relationship with size distortionwith size distortionAs OID increases, size distortion/magnification increasesAs OID decreases, size distortion/magnification decreases

• SID has an SID has an inverse relationship inverse relationship with with size distortionsize distortion

• A long SID produces less size distortion

• A short SID produces more size distortion

With a long SID the beam is more perpendicular creating less of a divergence

Calculating Size Distortion• Magnification Factor

– indicates how much size distortion is demonstrated on a radiograph

• MF = SID / SOD Source-to-Image Distance---------------------------------------- Source-to-Object Distance

• If SOD is unknown

SIZE SHAPE

Page 20: Geometric Properties Distortion

Shape Distortion• True Distortion• Produces a true perversion of the structures

of interest that can make the recorded image unrecognizable from the original structures of interest

Page 21: Geometric Properties Distortion

Shape Distortion• Two Types:

– Elongation Elongation – ForeshorteningForeshortening

• Due to:– AlignmentAlignment

• Central rayCentral ray• Anatomical partAnatomical part• Image receptorImage receptor

– AngulationAngulation• DegreeDegree• DirectionDirection

Page 22: Geometric Properties Distortion

Shape Distortion• ElongationElongation refers to

images of objects that appear longer than the true object

• ForeshorteningForeshortening refers to images that appear shorter than the true objects

Page 23: Geometric Properties Distortion

ElongationElongationShape distortion resulting from improper alignment of the Image Receptor

Page 26: Geometric Properties Distortion

The Affects of DistortionTake a close look at this illustration. Do you see how the bone ends at the fracture site look a little different in each radiograph? These different views result from differences in the alignment of the CR, bone, and IR.

Page 27: Geometric Properties Distortion

A simple fracture may go undetected due to shape distortion

Minimizing Shape Distortion• X-ray tube alignment (CR)

– Perpendicular to Part and IR– *Elongation

• Image Receptor alignment– Parallel to Part– *If the IR is the piece un-aligned– (CR and part still perpendicular)

– *Elongation • Part alignment

– Parallel to IR – *If the Part is the piece un-aligned– (CR and IR still perpendicular)

– *Foreshortening

SUMMARY• Size Distortion

– OID• Shortest OID

– SID• Longest SID

• Shape Distortion– Alignment and Angulation

• Elongation– CR, IR, and Part Perpendicular

• Foreshortening – Part and IR Parallel
