High Brightness, High Resolution Electronic Display of Medical Radiographs

9315580 Flynn这项规划拨款将使调查人员能够进行可行性研究，以确定是否可以开发替代技术来取代医疗x光片系统。将评估与薄荧光粉一起使用的电流调节场发射阵列，以确定是否可以实现具有图像质量基本上等于具有背光照明的胶片的数字射线照相数据的电子显示。这项研究将仅限于对静态显示技术的研究。这项研究是重要的，因为据估计，使用胶片放射照相程序的成本是可观的。无膜系统不仅应该降低与胶片相关的成本，而且应该提高与临床护理相关的整体生产力。＊＊＊

9315580 Flynn This Planning Grant award will enable the investigators to perform a feasibility study to determine if an alternate technology could be developed to replace the medical radiograph film system. Current-regulated field emission arrays used in conjunction with thin phosphors will be evaluated to determine if an electronic display for digital radiographic data with image quality essentially equal to that of a film with backlit illumination can be achieved. The study will be restricted to the investigation of a technology for static displays. This research is important since it is estimated that the cost of using film for radiographic procedures is substantial. A filmless system should not only decrease the costs associated with film but also should improve the overall productivity associated with clinical care. ***
