Can Paper Replace Laser Film to Communicate the Results of Wrist Radiographs in Trauma Cases? A Reproducibility Study of the Reading of Wrist Trauma Case Radiographs on a PACS Workstation, Laser Film, and Paper
Abstract:The main goal of this study was to determine the reproducibility of the reading of wrist trauma case radiographs using three different media: laser film, a picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) workstation, and paper with an optimized layout. The study was conducted retrospectively in 200 consecutive patients consulting at the emergency department for wrist trauma and who underwent wrist X-ray investigation using a computed radiography system. There were 82 men and 118 women. The mean age was 48.3… Show more
This study concludes that the use of paper prints may serve as a reliable alternative to LASER films to communicate the report of wrist radiographs for the treating physicians without any compromise over diagnostic information in cases of rickets.
