OBJECTIVE: To compare the image quality obtained with the different protocols in
a new chest digital tomosynthesis (DTS) system. METHODS: A chest phantom was
imaged with chest X-ray equipment with DTS. 10 protocols were used, and for each
protocol, nine acquisitions were performed. Four observers visually rated the
quality of the reconstructed section images according to pre-defined quality
criteria in four different classes. The data were analysed with visual grading
characteristics (VGC) analysis, using the vendor-recommended protocol [12-s
acquisition time, source-to-image distance (SID) 180?cm] as reference, and the
area under the VGC curve (AUCVGC) was determined for each protocol and class of
criteria. RESULTS: Protocols with a smaller swing angle resulted in a lower image
quality for the classes of criteria "disturbance" and "homogeneity in nodule" but
a higher image quality for the class "structure". The class "demarcation" showed
little dependency on the swing angle. All protocols but one (6.3?s, SID 130?cm)
obtained an AUCVGC significantly <0.5 (indicating lower quality than reference)
for at least one class of criteria. CONCLUSION: The study indicates that the DTS
protocol with 6.3?s yields image quality similar to that obtained with the
vendor-recommended protocol (12?s) but with the clinically important advantage
for patients with respiratory impairment of a shorter acquisition time. ADVANCES
IN KNOWLEDGE: The study demonstrates that the image quality may be strongly
affected by the choice of protocol and that the vendor-recommended protocol may
not be optimal.
