The cost of managing digital diagnostic images.

A study of the cost of recording and archiving digitally formatted diagnostic images is presented for an academic radiology department serving a 614-bed university hospital and a large outpatient population. The radiological examinations include computed tomography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and digital radiography. The archiving management strategies studied include the combined use of computer magnetic tapes, computer disc storage, and multiformat video film recordings. The estimated cost per patient for the archiving of digital diagnostic images is presented.

Continuous image recording using gray-tone, dry-process silver paper.

A method of recording continuous gray-tone images on dry-process silver paper from raster-scan video signals is described. The Tektronix 4634 image-forming module uses a fiber-optic faceplate cathode-ray tube to couple the light output onto the recording paper. The latent image is heat developed and presented in sheet form. An initial comparison between dry silver paper and conventional film for video-generated computed tomography and nuclear medicine examinations, shows little apparent difference in image quality. Considerable cost savings are possible when using dry silver paper. Additional cost savings are possible if multiple images can be recorded on each dry silver sheet.

A practical approach to direct magnification radiography.

The focus of this article is the diagnostic accuracy and performance of direct magnification utilizing conventional radiographic equipment. Although in the past magnification radiography has been used primarily for the detection of arthritic erosion, the practicality of a new system has increased its use for the detection and/or evaluation of soft tissue and bone lesions, as well as follow-up examination of prosthetic placements.
