A primary function of the radiologist is that of extracting sufficient information from images, in a finite time, so as to arrive at a patient management decision. Clinically important information must be present in the images and this information must be correctly perceived. This essay discusses the work of the diagnostician viewing prerecorded images. The potentials for enhancing this work by means of different image display techniques are examined. The application of stimulable phosphor computed radiographic techniques are discussed in detail as an example of a technology which clearly separates crucial portions of the imaging process. This separation of functions might improve general radiology in the near future. The principals of the discussion are not specific to any imaging modality or to any individual display technology.
放射科医生的主要职责是在有限的时间内从图像中提取足够的信息，以便做出患者管理决策。临床重要信息必须存在于图像中，并且必须被正确识别。本文讨论了诊断医生查看预记录图像的工作。研究了通过不同图像显示技术增强这项工作的潜力。作为一种能够清晰分离成像过程关键部分的技术示例，详细讨论了可激发光存储荧光体计算机射线照相技术的应用。这种功能分离可能在不久的将来改善普通放射学。讨论的原则并非特定于任何成像模态或任何单个显示技术。
