It is a common belief that the shift to digital imaging some 20 years ago helped medical image exchange and got rid of any potential image loss that was happening with printed image films. Unfortunately, this is not the case: despite the most recent advances in digital imaging, most hospitals still keep losing their imaging data, with these losses going completely unnoticed. As a result, not only does image loss affect the faith in digital imaging but it also affects patient diagnosis and daily quality of clinical work. This paper identifies the origins of invisible image losses, provides methods and procedures to detect image loss, and demonstrates modes of action that can be taken to stop the problem from happening.
人们普遍认为,大约20年前向数字成像的转变有助于医学图像的交换,并消除了打印图像胶片可能出现的任何图像丢失问题。不幸的是,事实并非如此:尽管数字成像取得了最新进展,但大多数医院仍在不断丢失其成像数据,而这些损失完全未被察觉。因此,图像丢失不仅影响对数字成像的信心,还影响患者诊断和临床工作的日常质量。本文确定了无形图像丢失的根源,提供了检测图像丢失的方法和程序,并展示了可以采取的行动模式,以阻止问题的发生。
