Clinical utilization of grayscale workstations

The factors influencing the image fidelity of gray-scale monitors and how they are determined through both physical and psycho-physical measurements are discussed. Estimation techniques for the amount of image data to be displayed, both the daily digital image data volume and the estimation of the number of gray-scale display stations required, are also examined. Gray-scale display station hardware and software designs are presented. It is pointed out that exceptional attention must be paid to the details of workstation design, as this is the sole interface of the radiologist to the resources of the digital image management network.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
