摘要
Since April 1990, chest radiographs in the Mannheim clinic have been performed with a slit technique (Kodak AMBER System). In this study, image quality from conventional film/screen combination and from storage phosphor radiography was compared with that from the AMBER system. Phantoms were used to measure spatial resolution and to determine the detectability of nodules. Image quality affecting various structures within the thorax was evaluated on 200 p.a. and 48 lateral radiographs by three radiologists from Mannheim and four from Berlin. In the retrocardiac, retrodiaphragmatic, mediastinal and peripheral portions the best image quality was obtained by film/screen with the AMBER system. Compared with conventional film/screen images, there was no improvement from the AMBER system within the lung parenchyma. The use of storage phosphor plates with the AMBER system did not lead to any further improvement in image quality.
