Abstract

Objective: To design, implement and evaluate a PC-based medical viewing application including image postprocessing for DICOM images for use within an existing hospital infrastructure.

Material and methods: A user-friendly DICOM compliant viewing application including image postprocessing (spatial frequency and contrast enhancement) and HL7 communication ability was designed and implemented on PC basis to run under Windows OS. To assess its quality compared to high-end workstations, an ROC analysis was performed.

Results: The use of image postprocessing on a PC significantly improved the perception of low-contrast details in computed radiographs. Review at a radiological workstation was superior to review at a PC with image postprocessing.
