The use of mobile devices for medical image capture has become increasingly popular given the widespread use of smartphone cameras. Prior studies have generally compared mobile phone capture images to digitized images. However, many underserved and rural areas without picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) still depend greatly on the use of film radiographs. Additionally, there is a scarcity of specialty-trained or formally licensed radiologists in many of these regions. Subsequently, there is great potential for the use of smartphone capture of plain radiograph films which would allow for increased access to economical and efficient consultation from board-certified radiologists abroad. The present study addresses the ability to diagnose a subset of radiographic findings identified on both the original film radiograph and the captured camera phone image.
鉴于智能手机摄像头的广泛使用,利用移动设备进行医学图像采集已变得越来越普遍。先前的研究通常将手机拍摄的图像与数字化图像进行比较。然而,许多没有图像存档与通信系统(PACS)的医疗服务不足地区和农村地区仍然极大地依赖于使用X光胶片。此外,在许多这些地区,缺乏经过专业培训或获得正式许可的放射科医生。因此,利用智能手机拍摄普通X光胶片具有很大的潜力,这将使人们能够更便捷地获得国外获得董事会认证的放射科医生提供的经济高效的会诊服务。本研究探讨了对原始X光胶片和手机拍摄图像上识别出的一部分影像学表现进行诊断的能力。
