It was researched on the application of Anoda Heel Effect (AHE) with a step wedge on the effect of Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) on Computed Radiography (CR) has been carried out. This research was conducted on a 21 step wedge with two treatments, namely the application of AHE and without the application of AHE. This measurement is repeated three times on radiographs to obtain a total image of six images (without the application of AHE as many as three images and with the application of AHE as many as three images). The results of taking radiographs using AHE and without AHE were measured using the RadiAnt Dicom Viewer program. The SNR value on the step wedge image without the AHE application has an average of 26.89. The SNR value on the step wedge image using AHE is 60.54. The results of the correlation test (Pearson correlation test) on the SNR showed that there was a significant and very strong effect of the application of AHE on the step wedge on the SNR in CR (p-value <0.001 and the R-value ranging from 0.600 to 0.799).

Backgroud: Imaging plate (IP) is a storage media on computed radiography (CR). IP that has been exposed and does not process immediately will decrease the latent image exponentially over time and degrade the image quality. Normally, 25% of signal will be lost if IP was scanned at 10 minutes till 8 hours after exposure. So It will decrease the image quality. Image quality is determined by several factors. One of them is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This study aims to determine the effect of reading time delay of IP to SNR on CR image.Methods: This research was a quantitative study with an experimental approach. Population of this study was CR digital image with various time delay of IP reading. Samples were 51 digital images of water phantom read by IP reading with time interval was 0 hours, 0.5 hours, 1 hour; 1.5 hour, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours, 5 hours, 5.5 hours, 6 hours, 6.5 hours, 7 hours, 7.5 hours and 8 hours after exposure. Image pixel value and noise was weasured by ImageJ software to determine the value of SNR, then analyzed statistically with the regression test.Results: There was effect of reading time delay to SNR on CR image. Time delay affected 30,5% decreasing of SNR. Generally, time delay of IP reading decrease the SNR. The average decrease was 1.55% of SNR.Conclusion: The decrease of the SNR value was not big enough, only 1.55%. However, it will better when IP read as soon as possible after exposure to reduce the decrease of image quality.

It has been conducted research to determine the effect of X-ray tube voltage variation (kV) on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) values by applying the Anode Heel Effect using stepwedge with the addition of 1.5 mm thickness each step. The stepwedge used was 1.5-31.5 mm. The X-ray tube voltage variations used were 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 kV. Analysis of the effect of X-ray tube voltage variation on SNR values is determined using IMB SPSS Statistics 26 with a simple regression test. The test results showed that variations in X-ray tube voltage affect SNR values, where the greater the variation in X-ray tube voltage then the SNR value would get smaller. The optimal SNR value of 72.685 was obtained at a tube tension of 40 kV and a stepwedge thickness of 27.0 mm.
