Résumé
Multi-frequency processing (MFP) leads to enhanced image quality (IQ) of radiographs. This study is to determine the effect of third generation MFP (M3) on IQ in comparison to standard second-generation MFP (M2). 20 cadavers were examined and post-processing of radiographs was performed with both M2 and M3. Three readers blinded to the MFP used for each image independently compared corresponding image pairs according to overall IQ and depiction of bony structures and soft tissue (+ 2: notably better > 0: equal > - 2: notably worse). A significant deviation of the median grade from grade 0 (equal) (p < 0.01) for each evaluator A, B and C speaks against an equal image quality of M2- and M3-images. M3-images were categorized with better grades (+ 1, + 2) in 87.7% for overall image quality, in 90.4% for soft tissue and 81.8% for bony structures. M3 images showed significant higher averaged SNR and CNR for all investigated lower extremities than that of M2 images (0.031 < p < 0.049). The newest generation of MFP leads to significantly better depiction of anatomical structures and overall image quality than in images processed with the preceding generation of MFP. This provides increased diagnostic accuracy and further decreased radiation exposure.
