Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to learn if a new imaging processing technique called Simulated grid (SimGrid™) will help in getting better quality X-ray images in obese subjects. The GM85 digital radiography machine will be used to obtain X-ray images.
Primary Outcome
Relative image quality will be assessed using a 5 point Likert scale ranging from -2 to +2 with -2 indicating better image quality with conventional grid and +2 indicating better image quality with SimGrid.
Interventions
- DIAGNOSTIC_TEST X-ray imaging with physical grid using conventional processing
- DIAGNOSTIC_TEST X-ray imaging without physical grid using conventional processing
- DIAGNOSTIC_TEST X-ray imaging without physical grid using experimental SimGrid offline processing
