Abstract:
:Computed radiography of chest with a 4K image array was recently introduced. We performed a multiobserver study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 2K (standard) and 4K (high quality) chest radiographs displayed on a 5-mega-pixel monitor (2K monitor). One hundred cases of posteroanterior chest radiographs (a total of 200 images) were selected by two chest radiologists. Those radiographs included pneumothorax (n = 14), nodules (n = 15), interstitial disease (n = 10), or neither abnormality (n = 61). These were interpreted by four radiologists in two separate sessions. They recorded their confidence scale for the presence or absence of abnormality. Diagnostic accuracy was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for each observer. ROC analysis showed no statistically significant difference between the 2K and 4K modes for the detection of any of the different abnormalities by individual readers. Our preliminary study suggests that 2K mode would be sufficient for the detection of abnormality on chest radiograph and there is no considerable validity to incline toward the 4K mode in current picture archiving and communication system environment using 2K monitor. However, we think that additional investigation using more subtle parenchymal or rib lesion should be followed.
