Abstract
The efficiency of an imaging detector is a more extensive parameter th an the quantum efficiency of a track detector or of a counter, as an i mage is created by the summation of many responses due to the single i ncoming quanta. This efficiency parameter is the so-called detective q uantum efficiency (DQE). The paper illustrates the general meaning of DQE and the procedure to measure it.
