Flat-panel x-ray detector using amorphous silicon technology. Reduced radiation dose for the detection of foreign bodies.
The authors evaluate a new flat-panel x-ray detector (FD) with respect to foreign body detection and reduction of radiation dose compared with screen-film radiography. ⋯ Flat-panel x-ray detector technology allows significant reduction in radiation dose compared with screen-film radiography without loss of diagnostic accuracy.
