摘要：

Compared to traditional film radiography, digital radiography is believed to improve workflow and patient throughput. Digital radiography permits the technologist to immediately view the quality of the film directly at the modality. Additional workflow improvements, therefore, should be achieved with the integration of the radiology information system (RIS), To learn more about this proposed efficacy, a study was performed at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Cleveland, OH) comparing timings in three groups: traditional film radiography; digital radiography; and digital radiography with RIS integration. Our data validated a timesaving of digital radiography over traditional or standard films and an even greater timesaving in a digital radiography/RIS environment. Copyright (C) 2000 by W.B.
