Emergency CT brain: preliminary interpretation with a tablet device: image quality and diagnostic performance of the Apple iPad

Abstract: Tablet devices have recently been used in radiological image interpretation because they have a display resolution comparable to desktop LCD monitors. We identified a need to examine tablet display performance prior to their use in preliminary interpretation of radiological images. We compared the spatial and contrast resolution of a commercially available tablet display with a diagnostic grade 2 megapixel monochrome LCD using a contrast detail phantom. We also recorded reporting discrepancies, using the ACR R… Show more

“…This study has several different points in the methods compared with the previous studies (Table 6) [3,[6][7][8]. First, we tested our teleradiologic system in the realistic ED situation considering ambient lighting, subtle radiologic lesions, and currently available network.…”

“…One reason for the broad acceptance of TC lies with their compact design and portability thus making TC interesting for medical or research applications too [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Another, if not even more important feature, is their intuitive interface with direct on-screen interaction.…”

“…Nonemergent findings such as pulmonary nodules have been compared on the iPad versus the LCD standard display demonstrating no significant difference in diagnostic variability [12]. A study interrogating the utility of analyzing emergent CT brain studies was performed using the Apple iPad as a mobile tablet viewing device with promising results suggesting further evaluation [13]. These studies support the use of the mobile viewer as an accurate, reliable tool for viewing acute and non-acute medical images in various clinical settings.…”
