Abstract
An X-ray image quality control system includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an X-ray image and determine the type of imaged body part and the type of projection mode. A quality detection unit is configured to detect an image defect in X-ray image with regard to the type of the imaged body part and/or the type of the projection mode. The quality control system effectively identifies image defects including inaccurate positioning, patient movement, external object artifacts, and poor exposure. The system provides feedback to the technician at the image acquisition point to adjust the image acquisition solution in a timely manner.
