ISDN application for image transmission.

Abstract

Image transmission using ISDN is not yet popular in Japan, but the number of ISDN terminals is rapidly increasing since 1991. We have two systems for image transmission using ISDN. One system uses an image workstation of the mini PACS. With this system, an image can be directly input from CT or MR to the workstation, and transmitted without errors. This system is very expensive. The format of images is the original one, and the data can be transmitted between workstations. The other system is the ISDN videophone. Images are input to the videophone through a CCD camera. The quality of the image is not high. However, this system is cheap and easy to use. In the near future, the videophone will be widely distributed, and will be used also for the transmission of medical images.

Practical assessment of the display performance of radiology workstations.

The performance of 14 primary clinical display monitor workstations in use in the Radiology Department of a large acute NHS Trust was assessed using the methods and guidelines described by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 18. Tests undertaken included the measurement of ambient light, display uniformity, luminance ratio, luminance response, maximum luminance and spatial resolution. Four display monitors failed to meet at least one of the test's guideline tolerances. In addition a number of display monitors were found to be operating at settings that might reduce their useful life span. These devices were either replaced or recalibrated by the installers, or were subject to local adjustment to ensure applicable standards were met. Consequently the study suggests that quality assurance testing of display monitors used for image reporting is necessary and valuable to ensure that images are viewed at an appropriate standard.
