A compensatory filter is a device that is used in radiological diagnostics to compensate for distortions caused by various factors, such as tissue heterogeneity, artifacts from metal objects and others.
A compensatory filter consists of several elements, such as low-pass filters, high-pass filters, amplifiers and attenuators. It allows you to reduce the impact of distortions on image quality and increase diagnostic accuracy.
One example of the use of a compensatory filter is computed tomography. When performing computed tomography, it is necessary to take into account tissue inhomogeneities, which can lead to image distortion. A compensatory filter allows you to reduce these distortions and improve image quality.
In addition, the compensatory filter can be used to eliminate artifacts caused by metal objects such as pacemakers or implants. It allows you to reduce the impact of these objects on image quality and improve its accuracy.
In general, the compensatory filter is an important tool in radiological diagnostics, which can improve image quality and increase diagnostic accuracy.
