Chest X-ray : a cost-diagnostic benefit analysis. Conventional versus 100 mm Image Intensifier Radiography

Abstract

Although plain chest radiography is one of the most useful diagnostic tools available to the physician, this procedure has not evolved into a consistent method. Two Large Field of View Image Intensifiers (LFOV-II) became available; the large imaging area makes them suitable for chest imaging. Both modalities supply 100 mm images to the radiologist. In this thesis the `diagnostic benefits and `costs` of these modalities are evaluated and related to the `gold` standard (conventional full-size). The emphasis is on diagnostic image quality using phantoms for observer performance qualities. (author). 170 refs.; 21 figs.; 47 tabs.
