General purpose digital display system for computed tomography images.
The authors describe a microprocessor-based digital image display system utilizing a solid-state image memory with a high quality television-type monitor for display of computed tomography images. It is an alternative to a commercially available display system, and offers the potential for research in digital image display. It is now under clinical evaluation. Image input to the stand-alone display system is via 9-track magnetic tape common to almost all CT machines, and it may be programmed to accept digital tapes from any type of CT machine and display them in a common format.
