Receiver-operating-characteristic study of chest radiographs in children: digital hard-copy film vs 2K x 2K soft-copy images.

Should 3K zoom function be used for detection of pneumothorax in cesium iodide/amorphous silicon flat-panel detector radiographs presented on 1K-matrix soft copies?

“…According to Razavi et al, however, there are no significant differences in the detection of pneumothorax between 2K hard-copy and 2K soft-copy images of children's chest radiographs [16].…”

Computed radiography in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units: A comparison of 2.5 K � 2 K soft-copy images vs digital hard-copy film

“…Objective observations of significance in the ICU setting were chosen for analysis. Previous comparison studies of CR have been based on receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves [5,6,9]. In the present study, the kappa statistic [8] was chosen over ROC curves because of the larger number of parameters being analyzed.…”

“…In the present study, the kappa statistic [8] was chosen over ROC curves because of the larger number of parameters being analyzed. In a ROC study of 239 images selected to depict various chest abnormalities in children [5], the detection of pneumothorax, linear atelectasis, air bronchograms, and interstitial disease were compared on high-resolution soft-copy and laser-printed hard-copy images. No significant difference was found in the detection of pneumothorax and air bronchograms, while interstitial disease and linear atelectasis were slightly better seen with soft copy.…”

The influence of liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors on observer performance for the detection of nodular lesions on chest radiographs

“…A considerable number of studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] have been conducted to determine whether or not a CRT display monitor was an acceptable alternative to the traditional light box-viewing method of film images. Although a CRT monitor with an appropriate display performance (such as resolution, luminance range, gray scale, contrast, etc.)…”
