    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 1989 Nov; 9(4):208-13. PubMed ID: 2591385.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic performance of two systems for chest radiography was studied. One system was based on a large image intensifier, the other was a conventional film-screen system. The images from the image intensifier were studied either on a digital TV screen or on 100 mm photofluorograms. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed on images of an anthropomorphic chest phantom. Low-contrast MMAP (methyl methacrylate polymer) nodules and simulated vessels were positioned over the parenchymal and the mediastinal region of the phantom. Five observers assessed the digital monitor images, photofluorograms, and conventional full-size radiograms. The results showed a significantly superior detectability for the full-size radiograms over the digital monitor images both in the parenchyma and in the mediastinum. No significant difference was found between photofluorograms and digital images.
