  • Title: [The visualization of metal implants with digital luminescence radiography].
    Author: Wiesmann W, Reiser M, Pauly T, Fiebich M, Bick U, Peters PE.
    Journal: Rofo; 1990 Jun; 152(6):687-92. PubMed ID: 2163075.
    Abstract:
    DLR makes it possible to integrate conventional radiography into digital communication and storage methods (PACS) into radiology. The use of DLR has been compared with conventional film methods in the demonstration of hip prostheses. The high contrast differences at the edge of the metal implant leads to artifacts, which could result in erroneous interpretation. Suitable image manipulation makes it possible, however, to eliminate these artifacts almost completely. DLR leads to an improvement in diagnosis in those complications not specifically related to the prostheses.
