  • Title: Assessment of digital chest radiography using stimulable phosphor.
    Author: Kehler M, Albrechtsson U, Andersson B, Lárusdóttir H, Lundin A, Pettersson H.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 1989; 30(6):581-6. PubMed ID: 2698744.
    Abstract:
    In this pilot study, conventional and digital radiography of the chest was compared in 170 patients. Two digitized radiographs, one frequency modified and one simulating the conventional film-screen combination, and the conventional films were reviewed independently by 5 radiologists with different experience. In spite of the smaller size and lower spatial resolution of the digitized compared with the conventional radiograph, only slight differences were revealed in the observation of different pulmonary and mediastinal changes. Digitized radiography is therefore considered suitable for chest examinations.
