Step 1: Ensure a good incoming radiation Signal:

• Fractional focal spot tube (smallest focal spot possible for sharpest image)
• High resolution grid (178/200/215 LP/inch, more gridlines less scatter)
• Bucky (Clean the incoming signal without software filtering)
• Automatic Exposure Control (adjusted to always acquire the bare minimum panel radiation to avoid grainy images)
• High Frequency Generator (constant potential)

Step 2: Choose software filters with care (the following will have a reduction effect on incoming resolution):

• Grid line suppression
• Post Processing
