Over 70% of a typical radiology department's workload is comprised of the classic \"plain film\" and fluoroscopy. Digital fluoroscopy allows direct digital capture of fluoroscopic examinations. A typical installation incorporates a digital image intensifier with presentation of the images on a computer workstation or monitor located directly in the fluoroscopy room. Computed radiography (CR) is a technology developed in the early 1980s which will accommodate direct digital acquisition of about two-thirds of the film-based radiography that is practised in most radiology departments. It has a comparable spatial resolution to high-speed film screen systems and a much improved contrast resolution compared to film. Technologists used to put film up on the view box and review the films there to be sure that the examination was complete and adequate. Now they look at the images on a workstation monitor. They look at the soft copy images, make their decisions, determine what needs to repeated, if anything, and then send the examination on to the radiologist. All of this is capable of being accomplished electronically in a networked picture archiving and communications system (PACS).","PeriodicalId":102057,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Forum: Military Telemedicine On-Line Today Research, Practice, and Opportunities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130127939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Honeywell Inc. currently is developing prototype head-mounted display systems under contract with the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). These systems incorporate flat panel technologies such as liquid crystal and electroluminescence. Displays based on these technologies offer the advantages of reduced weight, size, and power requirements. However, these displays do not provide the same level of image quality as those in current use which are based on cathode-ray-tube (CRT) technology. For this reason, Honeywell Inc. has joined in a cooperative research and development agreement with the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory. USAARL has over two decades experience evaluating display performance and addressing issues associated with head-mounted display systems.","PeriodicalId":102057,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Forum: Military Telemedicine On-Line Today Research, Practice, and Opportunities","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117273359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
