Systems and Methods to Configure Radiography Systems
18 Jan 24
An example method to configure a radiography system having a radiation emitter and a radiation detector involves: analyzing, using processing circuitry, a reference image captured using a first value of a first power parameter for the radiation emitter to determine a value of a focal spot size for the radiation emitter; based on a determined relationship between the first value of the first power parameter and the value of the focal spot size, output an indication of whether a selected value of the first power parameter results in a value of an unsharpness parameter satisfying a threshold unsharpness value; and control the radiography system using the selected power parameter to perform a radiography process to obtain one or more radiographic images that satisfy the threshold unsharpness value.
