Phantom Study of Chest Radiography with Storage Phosphor, Selenium, and Film-Screen Systems

Abstract

The selenium-based system performed significantly better for pulmonary line detection than all the other systems, and better than one storage phosphor system for the lung "tumour" (p < 0.05), while one storage phosphor system was slightly better than the other in diagnosing all 3 test objects. The score for the film-screen system was only average.
