Abstract:
The purpose of this work was to compare standard desktop display systems with dedicated medical display systems. The set of image tests proposed by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM TG18) was used to assess a Philips 107S desktop display system and a Siemens medical display. Three observers performed the subjective assessment, in a non-concerted manner. The objective assessment was performed using a CCD camera according to the AAPM TG18 procedure. The results clearly demonstrate the inadequacy of standard desktop display systems in the framework of diagnostic radiology. Moreover, a good correlation between the subjective and objective assessment methods was obtained.
