Clinical Application of Wireless Flat-panel Detector in X-ray Photography in the Small Joints of the Limbs

Purpose To compare the wireless flat-panel detector with gadolinium oxide coating in X-ray photography in the small joints of the limbs compared with conventional flat panel detector with cesium iodide coating.Materials and Methods Comparison was randomly performed between gadolinium oxide coated sulfur wireless flat-panel detector and cesium iodide coated conventional flat-panel detector for 80 patients who received routine X-ray photography,and scoring data were applied with statistical analysis.Results There was no significant difference between the scoring data from two film-reading people(P0.05).The resolution of anatomical structure of small joint of limbs and tube current showed no significant difference for two types of imaging systems(P0.05).Conclusion Wireless flat panel detector sulfur with gadolinium oxide coatings can obtain satisfactory image quality at a reasonable inspection doses in the X-ray photography of small joint of limbs.The imaging quality and inspection doses are similar to conventional flat panel detector device with cesium iodide coating,but the posture is more convenient.
