title: A comparison of grey-scale image recording systems.
abstract: There is currently a rapid rise in the variety of image recording systems and recording media available for use with ultrasound and CT scanners. We have evaluated nine different systems and ten recording media and have compared their cost, convenience and performance. The choice of system in a particular department depends upon many factors, especially the number of images recorded and the reasons for recording them. We suggest that a busy department will probably require one of the more expensive automatic devices since these are the most convenient to use and have the lowest cost per image.
