Abstract
X-ray imaging has long been a useful medical diagnostic tool. It has developed from a simple tool used to view broken bones into a variety of highly sophisticated systems, some of which are used in diagnosis and treatment of a variety of vascular disorders. Improved image quality is among the most important developments that make such sophisticated medical work possible. Significant issues facing x-ray systems designers include continuing improvements in image quality and reduction in the radiation dose to the patient and the medical staff. This thesis addresses a technique that reduces noise in fluoroscopic images and permits operation of the x-ray systems at lower dose levels.
