The use of psychophysical principles in the design of a total digital radiology department.
In this article, the current design questions in developing a total digital radiology department (TDRD) are discussed, and the psychophysical techniques being used to determine the necessary spatial resolution in such systems are described. In addition, a review of the problems of designing the system and preliminary design results from the authors' institution are presented.
