To provide high-quality duplicate chest images for the intensive care units, we have developed a digital duplication system
in which film digitization is performed in conjunction with nonlinear density correction, contrast adjustment, and unsharp
mask filtering. This system provides consistent image densities over a wide exposure range and enhancement of structures in
the mediastinum and upper abdominal areas, improving visibility of catheters and tubes. The image quality is often superior
to that of the original radiograph and is more consistent from day to day. Repeat rates for portable chest radiographs have
been reduced by more than a factor of two since implementation of digitization in December 1991, and the number of repeat
examinations caused by exposure errors have been substantially reduced. |
