Correction Best Practices for Flexible Digital Detector Arrays
Presentation Description
Proper corrections are essential to image quality for digital detector arrays (DDAs). Many conditions for the corrections must be considered when correcting DDAs. Flexible DDAs present even more aspects to consider acquiring images, as they can bend. Implementing offset correction, gain correction, and bad pixel corrections using best practices, including keeping flexible DDAs perpendicular to the radiation source, improves image quality, rendering required image quality indicators more easily and potentially saving time in reshoots. The best practices for corrections for flexible DDAs are presented as part of this paper.
