secondary X-ray effect

Secondary X-ray effect is a significant phenomenon which is linked with the X-ray imaging. Besides an impact on the human organism, it may significantly influence recording devices such as the skiagraphy images. During the RTG irradiation, the secondary X-ray is being distributed to its surrounding, and may affect skiagraphy images which are stored in the clinical workplace. The secondary irradiation causes a partially irreversible deterioration resulting to a worse quality of the clinical information. More times is particular image affected by the secondary X-ray, we obtain a worse quality and reproducibility of the clinical information. Unfortunately, there is not clinically objective approach for determining the X-ray effect level before using particular skiagraphy image. We have done analysis and modelling of the secondary X-ray effect on skiagraphy records within several experiments. A level of the X-ray irradiation is being modelled via the multiregional segmentation method allowing for extraction image areas affected by irradiation. Consequently, this model allows for a calculation of image features representing the irradiation level, and estimates a quantification of the secondary X-ray irradiation.
