How does the choice of an acquisition rate impact DXR imaging?

The choice of an acquisition rate in DXR imaging plays a significant role in the quality of the resulting images. A higher acquisition rate means that images are captured more frequently during the scanning process. This rapid capture is crucial in reducing motion artifacts, which can occur if the patient moves during the imaging procedure. Motion artifacts can blur the images, making it difficult to interpret the results accurately.

By capturing images more quickly, a higher acquisition rate helps maintain image clarity and detail, allowing for better diagnostic outcomes. This is particularly important in situations where patient movement is a concern or when quick imaging is necessary. Additionally, precise and clear images improve the ability to detect and evaluate conditions that may be present.

While there are considerations regarding radiation exposure associated with acquisition rates, such as the need to balance image quality with patient safety, the primary benefit of a higher acquisition rate lies in its ability to enhance image clarity by minimizing motion-related issues.
