    Abstract:
    170 patients who had suffered trauma to bones or soft tissues were examined by a digital and a conventional film/screen technique. In addition to "standard" and edge-enhanced images, post-processing was carried out and compared with conventional radiographs. Four radiologists and two surgeons evaluated the compacta, spongiosa, soft tissues, fractures and osteo-synthetic materials as shown on the two systems. The "standard" digital images are inferior to film images, but edge-enhanced images showed definite advantages for demonstrating soft tissues. Evaluation of osteo-synthetic material is limited by the creation of artifacts. Recognition of detail can be significantly improved by using post-processing with optimized parameters.
