, Artifacts Unwanted markings or distortions on a
radiographic image that do not represent actual
anatomical structures. They may be caused by
patient movement, improper handling, equipment
malfunction, or external objects.
Brightness The overall lightness or darkness of a digital
radiographic image, primarily controlled by the
computer and monitor settings rather than
exposure factors.
Contrast The difference in brightness between adjacent
areas of an image. It allows for the visualization of
anatomical structures and is influenced by kVp.
Contrast Resolution The ability of the imaging system to distinguish
between differences in intensity in an image. High
contrast resolution allows for better visualization
of soft tissue differences.
Sharpness of Detail Refers to how well small structures are defined in
an image. Influenced by focal spot size, motion,
and detector quality.
