“…Our findings are in accordance with several studies that have shown similar performances for color and monochrome displays in a variety of clinical tasks such as brain CT, 5 radiography of wrist fractures, 6,7 computed radiographs of the hands in early rheumatoid arthritis, 8 and chest radiographs in interstitial lung disease. 9 In another study, Goo et al 10 found that for chest radiographs, a display luminance as low as 86 cd/m 2 was acceptable provided that the ambient illuminance was low.…”

In diagnostic radiology, medical-grade monochrome displays are usually recommended because of their higher luminance. Standard color displays can be used as a less expensive alternative, but have a lower luminance. The aim of the present study was to compare image quality for these two types of displays. Images of a CDRAD contrast-detail phantom were read by four radiologists using a 2-megapixel (MP) color display (143 cd/m 2 maximum luminance) as well as 2-MP (295 cd/m 2 ) and 3-MP monochrome displays. Thirty lumbar spine radiographs were also read by four radiologists using the color and the 2-MP monochrome display in a visual grading analysis (VGA). Very small differences were found between the displays when reading the CDRAD images. The VGA scores were j0.28 for the color and j0.25 for the monochrome display (p=0.24; NS). It thus seems possible to use color displays in diagnostic radiology provided that grayscale adjustment is used.

“…Doyle et al 13 found that there was no difference in the accuracy of observer performance for detection of wrist fractures with a personal computer monitor compared with that of a picture archiving and communication system workstation. Geijer et al 9 did not find any significant difference in image quality between a medical grade monochrome LCD display and a colour LCD display of equal spatial resolution, with either a contrast-detail phantom or a VGA.…”

“…A recent study showed there was no difference in accuracy of observer performance for detection of wrist fractures with a PC (color monitor 1024 Â 768) compared with a PACS workstation monitor. 5 A similarly designed study showed a nonstatistically significant (at 95%) trend toward higher diagnostic accuracy using a dedicated medical grade monitor vs. 2 megapixel (MP) 20 in. LCD monitor when evaluating thoracic radiographs for pneumothorax and wrist fractures.…”

Images generated during the course of patient evaluation and management are an integral part of the medical record and must be retained according to local regulations. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) makes it possible for images from many different imaging modalities to be distributed via a standard internet network to distant viewing workstations and a central archive in an almost seamless fashion. The DICOM standard is a truly universal standard for the dissemination of medical images. Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) refers to the infrastructure that links modalities, workstations, the image archive, and the medical record information system into an integrated system, allowing for efficient electronic distribution and storage of medical images and access to medical record data. This paper discusses the important elements to a successful PACS implementation in a practice, including how it interacts with other practice computing systems.
