Dose Reduction and Object Measuring in Stereo X-Ray Systems

摘要

X-Ray stereo imaging is a promising medical imaging modality, offering 3D observational patient tissue at significantly lower doses than computed tomography or tomosynthesis. Decrease of patient dose arises from the fact that only two images are necessary to create the stereo image. Nevertheless, the ability to measure the distance in stereoscopic X-Ray scene still remains not elaborated. This paper experimentally demonstrates the method for measuring the dimensions of the geometrical object from the X-Ray stereo and shows the possibility to get a stereo image at patient dose lower than two single X-Ray images.
