  • Title: Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of plain film radiographs between original film and smartphone capture: a pilot study.
    Author: Licurse MY, Kim SH, Kim W, Ruutiainen AT, Cook TS.
    Journal: J Digit Imaging; 2015 Dec; 28(6):646-53. PubMed ID: 25840654.
    Abstract:
    The use of mobile devices for medical image capture has become increasingly popular given the widespread use of smartphone cameras. Prior studies have generally compared mobile phone capture images to digitized images. However, many underserved and rural areas without picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) still depend greatly on the use of film radiographs. Additionally, there is a scarcity of specialty-trained or formally licensed radiologists in many of these regions. Subsequently, there is great potential for the use of smartphone capture of plain radiograph films which would allow for increased access to economical and efficient consultation from board-certified radiologists abroad. The present study addresses the ability to diagnose a subset of radiographic findings identified on both the original film radiograph and the captured camera phone image.
