Quality assurance (QA) of x-ray equipment is extremely important part of extensive quality control system in hospitals. Since most of diagnostic radiography is digital today, there is a great possibility to make an express quality check of x-ray equipment using fast digital approach. When the signal of the detector is directly proportional to the number of the detected photons, the distribution of the signals among the detectors of the entire set after its exposure obeys Poisson statistics too. The present article is directed to explore a possibility to exploit this for quality assessment in x-ray digital radiography.
