Abstract: | Conclusions 1. | For the purpose of mass-scale examination of lungs with scanning digital photoroentgenographs based on the roentgenologist's AWP, 17″ monitors are most suitable. Appropriate quality of paper copies of X-ray images can be attained using HP laser printers with resolution of 600 dpi. | 2. | Optical and magneto-optical memory systems are more appropriate for the purpose of storage of diagnostic information. Selection of the most appropriate memory device is determined by the type of the problem to be solved and by economic factors. | Scientific-Practicing Center for Medical Radiology, Moscow.
