The adequate and repeatable performance of the image display system is a key element of information technology platforms in a modern radiology department. However, despite the wide availability of high-end computing platforms and advanced color and gray-scale monitors, the quality and properties of the final displayed medical image may often be inadequate for diagnostic purposes if the displays are not configured and maintained properly. In this article-an expanded version of the Radiological Society of North America educational module "Image Display"-the authors discuss fundamentals of image display hardware, quality control and quality assurance processes for optimal image interpretation settings, and parameters of the viewing environment that influence reader performance. Radiologists, medical physicists, and other allied professionals should strive to understand the role of display technology and proper usage for a quality radiology practice. The display settings and display quality control and quality assurance processes described in this article can help ensure high standards of perceived image quality and image interpretation accuracy.
图像显示系统的充分和可重复性能是现代放射科信息技术平台的关键要素。然而,尽管高端计算平台和先进的彩色和灰度监视器广泛可用,但如果显示设备没有得到正确配置和维护,最终显示的医学图像的质量和特性可能常常不足以用于诊断目的。在本文中——北美放射学会教育模块“图像显示”的扩展版本——作者讨论了图像显示硬件的基础、用于最佳图像解释设置的质量控制和质量保证过程,以及影响读者性能的观察环境参数。放射科医生、医学物理学家和其他相关专业人员应努力理解显示技术的作用和正确使用方法,以实现高质量的放射科实践。本文描述的显示设置以及显示质量控制和质量保证过程有助于确保高标准的图像质量感知和图像解释准确性。
