Resumo: |
In this work, a study has been done about the procedures for evaluating the quality of image display devices (monitors) used in radio-anomaly, based on the analysis of the luminance characteristic curve versus the lowest just noticiable difference (JND), taking into account the time use of such equipment. The evaluated devices were of different of manufactures, models, series and had different resolutions. The evaluation of the quality of monitors exerts a strong influence on the image quality. For this evaluation of quality control, in addition to methods and instruments traditionally employed, an alternative method was used to measure luminance using electric and photometric quantities, which was validated by comparison with data obtained using a photometer, which is a standard meter of luminance. The quality control tests for evaluation of diffuse reflection, specular reflection, internal reflection or blurring, resolution, noise, luminance and contrast response and luminance uniformity were performed on devices with standard TG18 test images in DICOM GSDF format, with several shades of gray. These images are made available by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). The results were analyzed based on the limits established for primary and secondary monitors established in quality control protocols for radiodiagnostics, including one from the AAPM and others from Europe. In the analyzes, the illuminance of the environments in which the monitors were taken into account. The qualitative and quantitative results were correlated with the time of use of the display devices. The software used to view the test images were Radiant DICOM, Micro DICOM and Isyte Radiology. The results demonstrate the relevance of monitoring the use time of these devices, classified as primary (diagnostic use) and secondary (visualization only). It was verified among the monitored monitors, used in general radiology, that those with resolution between 2 and 5 megapixels can be classified as primary until a certain time of use; Among the analyzed devices with more than 50,000 hours of use, some demonstrate a behavior equivalent to that of secondary monitors. Monitoring the temporal evolution of the use of a device in radiodiagnosis is important so that errors in medical diagnosis are avoided. Not only are the higher resolution devices suitable for diagnostic reports but also those with lower resolution since their image display parameters comply with quality control recommendations. |
