title: [Documentation of digital image information--video or laser imager?].
abstract: The quality of hardcopies produced by a video- or laser imager was compared. Laser printing could be performed after analogue or digital data transmission, whereas the video imager allowed only analogue data transfer. Evaluation of CT-, MR-, DSA- and radiographic images showed no difference in diagnostic information between video and laser-produced hardcopies. For large formats (35 X 35 cm.), laser images produced by digital transmission were considerably superior to video signals and analogue transmission. There were advantages and disadvantages of both types of imaging, depending on the size of the matrix, the type of image produced, ease of use and capital cost.
