To compare the image quality of computed radiographic (CR) with conventional screen-film images, the authors used a dual-image recording technique. Images were simultaneously acquired with a conventional screen-film combination and a storage-phosphor imaging plate loaded into a single cassette. Wiener spectra and modulation transfer function were compared for both image types. A preliminary observer performance test was conducted with chest images obtained with the dual-image recording technique on portable and fixed equipment. Analysis of physical parameters and observer test results suggests that the conventional screen-film system can provide slightly superior image quality, although the CR system has some advantage in bedside applications.
