可接受的乳房X光胶片数字化仪必须提供高质量图像，其诊断精度水平与读取传统胶片检查相当。本研究的目的是确定传统胶片屏幕乳房 X 光检查的解释与乳房 X 光胶片数字化仪生成的图像的软拷贝读数之间是否存在显着差异。八位放射科医生解读了 120 份乳房 X 光检查，其中一半是原始胶片，另一半是软拷贝工作站上的数字图像。没有放射科医生会将同一份检查读两次。这些解释是根据乳房成像报告和数据系统记录的，并包括其他变量，例如感知的图像质量以及诊断难度和置信度。结果支持了这样的假设：传统胶片屏幕乳房X光检查和乳房X光胶片数字化仪生成的软拷贝检查的解释之间没有显着差异。
An acceptable mammography film digitizer must provide high-quality images at a level of diagnostic accuracy comparable to reading conventional film examinations. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are significant differences between the interpretations of conventional film-screen mammography examinations and soft copy readings of the images produced by a mammography film digitizer. Eight radiologists interpreted 120 mammography examinations, half as original films and the other half as digital images on a soft copy work station. No radiologist read the same examination twice. The interpretations were recorded in accordance with the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System and included other variables such as perceived image quality and diagnostic difficulty and confidence. The results provide support for the hypothesis that there are no significant differences between the interpretations of conventional film-screen mammography examinations and soft copy examinations produced by a mammography film digitizer.
