Clinical areas outside engine; (k) database; and (1) display protocol. User of the Radiology Department, Hospital, and Clin­ software for the display protocol satisfies four ics. Clinical areas outside the Department are functions: (a) presentation function; (b) interactive provided with the workstations (intra-network) manipulation functions; (c) quantification func­ with limited display and manipulation functions tions; and (d) image processing functions. The use (reduce costs). The basic elements of an interactive of interactive grayscale display workstations for grayscale workstation are: (a) host computer; (b) diagnostic softcopy reading has encountered a number of problems: (a) spatial resolution and screen brightness are limited; (b) screen fill times From University of Virginia, Department of Radiology. are to be less than one half second; and (c) the Address reprint requests to Samuel Dwyer, U TI - Workstations for soft copy reading JF - Journal of Digital Imaging DO - 10.1007/BF03168297 DA - 2009-10-19 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/workstations-for-soft-copy-reading-1P0FcXQU00 SP - 178 EP - 178 VL - 11 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
