We investigated the spatial resolution requirement and the effect of unsharp-mask filtering on the detectability of subtle microcalcifications in digital mammography. Digital images were obtained by digitizing conventional screen-film mammograms with a 0.1 X 0.1 mm2 pixel size, processed with unsharp masking, and then reconstituted on film with a Fuji image processing/simulation system (Fuji Photo Film Co., Tokyo, Japan). Twenty normal cases and 12 cases with subtle microcalcifications were included. Observer performance experiments were conducted to assess the detectability of subtle microcalcifications in the conventional, the unprocessed digital, and the unsharp-masked mammograms. The observer response data were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and LROC (ROC with localization) analyses. Our results indicate that digital mammograms obtained with 0.1 X 0.1 mm2 pixels provide lower detectability than the conventional screen-film mammograms. The detectability of microcalcifications in the digital mammograms is improved by unsharp-mask filtering; the processed mammograms still provide lower accuracy than the conventional mammograms, however, chiefly because of increased false-positive detection rates for the processed images at each subjective confidence level. Viewing unprocessed digital and unsharp-masked images in pairs resulted in approximately the same detectability as that obtained with the unsharp-masked images alone. However, this result may be influenced by the fact that the same limited viewing time was necessarily divided between the two images. 相似文献

Digital radiography of subtle pulmonary abnormalities: an ROC study of the effect of pixel size on observer performance 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Forty conventional radiographs with examples of mild interstitial infiltrates and subtle pneumothoraces and 40 normal studies of the chest were selected and digitized, with pixel sizes of 1.0, 0.5, 0.2, and 0.1 mm. Observer performance tests were carried out using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Conventional radiographs and digitized images were compared. The results indicate that, in such cases, diagnostic accuracy increases significantly as the pixel size is reduced, at least to the 0.1-mm level. We conclude that, for digital systems using screen-film or similar image receptors, use of a pixel size substantially larger than 0.1 mm may result in some loss of diagnostic accuracy. 相似文献

Authors refer one-year-results of their original modification of the partial trabeculoplasty using the argon laser Britt 152 in the treatment of the primary open-angle glaucoma. In 48 eyes of 35 patients the laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was performed, using parameters 50 microns, 750-100 mW, 0.1 sec, 120 degrees of circumference of the anterior chamber angle. Influence of ALT on the compensation of the intraocular pressure and visual functions were followed in week intervals (1.5, 6-15, 16-25, 25-35, 36-45, 46-55, 56-70) after the performed ALT. The mean decrease of the intraocular pressure was 8.4 mmHg (1.12 kPa), the mean success was in 87%. 相似文献

The imaging performance of new high-strip-density (HSD) grids having 57 lines/cm was compared with that of conventional low-strip-density (LSD) grids having 33 or 40 lines/cm. The unique advantage of HSD grids is that, under most standard radiographic conditions, the grid lines are not noticeable on the final image, even if the grid is stationary. This is due to the combined effect of the high fundamental spatial frequency of HSD grids, the modulation transfer function of screen-film systems and of the human visual system, and scattered radiation. Monte Carlo simulation studies, phantom images, and clinical evaluation indicate that HSD grids can provide contrast improvement factors and Bucky factors that are comparable to or slightly better than those obtained with LSD grids. Therefore, it may now be possible to eliminate moving Bucky trays from radiographic tables and fluoroscopic devices. 相似文献

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the robustness of a computerized method developed for the classification of benign and malignant masses with respect to variations in both case mix and film digitization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The classification method included automated segmentation of mass regions, automated feature-extraction, and automated lesion characterization. The method was evaluated independently with a 110-case database consisting of 50 malignant and 60 benign cases. Mammograms were digitized twice with two different digitizers (Konica and Lumisys). Performance of the method in differentiating benign from malignant masses was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Effects of variations in both case mix and film digitization on performance of the method also were assessed. RESULTS: Categorization of lesions as malignant or benign with an artificial neural network (or a hybrid) classifier achieved an area under the ROC curve, Az, value of 0.90 (0.94 for the hybrid) on the previous training database in a round-robin evaluation and Az values of 0.82 (0.81) and 0.81 (0.82) on the independent database for the Konica and Lumisys formats, respectively. These differences, however, were not statistically significant (P > .10). CONCLUSION: The computerized method for the classification of lesions on mammograms was robust with respect to variations in case mix and film digitization. 相似文献
