Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To compare image quality and radiation dose between dual-energy subtraction (DES)-based bone suppression images (D-BSIs) and software-based bone suppression images (S-BSIs). METHODS:Chest radiographs (CXRs) of forty adult patients were obtained with the two X-ray devices, one with DES and one with bone suppression software. Three image quality metrics (relative mean absolute error (RMAE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index (SSIM)) between original CXR and BSI for each of D-BSI and S-SBI groups were calculated for each bone and soft tissue areas. Two readers rated the visual image quality for original CXR and BSI for each of D-BSI and S-SBI groups. The dose area product (DAP) values were recorded. Paired t test was used to compare the image quality and DAP values between D-BSI and S-BSI groups. RESULTS:In bone areas, S-BSIs had better SSIM values than D-BSI (94.57 vs. 87.77) but worse RMAE and PSNR values (0.50 vs. 0.20; 20.93 vs. 34.37) (all p < 0.001). In soft tissue areas, S-BSIs had better SSIM values than D-BSI (97.56 vs. 91.42) but similar RMAE and PSNR values (0.29 vs. 0.27; 31.35 vs. 29.87) (all p < 0.001). Both readers gave S-BSIs significantly higher image quality scores than D-BSI (p < 0.001). The mean DAP in software-related images (0.98 dGy·cm2) was significantly lower than that in the DES-related images (1.48 dGy·cm2) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:Bone suppression software significantly improved the image quality of bone suppression images with a relatively lower radiation dose, compared with dual-energy subtraction technique. KEY POINTS:• Bone suppression software preserves structure similarity of soft tissues better than dual-energy subtraction technique in bone suppression images. • Bone suppression software achieves superior image quality for lung lesions than dual-energy subtraction technique in bone suppression images. • Bone suppression software can decrease the radiation dose over the hardware-based image processing technique.
