“…3.9 Group 9: evaluation of signal and noise and exposure in medical image for CAD This research group aims at clarifying the accurate mathematical expressions of abnormal findings on radiographic images, radiographic noise, and anatomic noise, including their analysis methods, and performing a statistical analysis of their results. The effects of roentgenographic apparatus and medical exposure on these mathematical expressions will be also clarified [17,18].…”

“…Imaging modalities require high-quality electronic display devices to convey precise and accurate information for diagnostic interpretation, clinical review, consultation or guidance during surgical procedures. Suboptimal or inconsistent performance of reading workstation monitors can prolong viewing times, increase reader fatigue, reduce detection of abnormalities and affect diagnostic performance [1][2][3][4][5]. Good displays are of particular importance in the interpretation of mammograms where subtle malignancies demonstrate little grey level difference from normal breast tissues [6], and whilst much emphasis is placed on innovations that maximise pathology visualisation, the effectiveness of these developments rely on high-quality image presentation.…”

Breast Screen New South Wales Generally Demonstrates Good Radiologic Viewing Conditions

This study measured reading workstation monitors and the viewing environment currently available within BreastScreen New South Wales (BSNSW) centres to determine levels of adherence to national and international guidelines. Thirteen workstations from four BSNSW service centres were assessed using the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 18 Quality Control test pattern. Reading workstation monitor performance and ambient light levels when interpreting screening mammographic images were assessed using spectroradiometer CS-2000 and chroma meter CL-200. Overall, radiologic monitors within BSNSW were operating at good acceptable levels. Some non-adherence to published guidelines included the percentage difference in maximum luminance between pairs of primary monitors at individual workstations (61.5 % or 30.8 % of workstations depending on specific guidelines), maximum luminance (23.1 % of workstations), luminance non-uniformity (11.5 % of workstations) and minimum luminance (3.8 % of workstations). A number of ambient light measurements did not comply with the only available evidence-based guideline relevant to the methodology used in this study. Larger ambient light variations across sites are shown when monitors were switched off, suggesting that differences in ambient lighting between sites can be masked when a standard mammogram is displayed for photometric measurements. Overall, BSNSW demonstrated good adherence to available guidelines, although some non-compliance has been shown. Recently updated United Kingdom and Australian guidelines should help reduce confusion generated by the plethora and sometimes dated nature of currently available recommendations.
