Purpose Radiographs based on the familiar projection
imaging are planar & are placed on a flat surface light box for viewing. Presenting digital radiographs on a CRT with a curved surface may cause distortions & increase reflections from ambient light.
To demonstrate that CRT displays with a flat surface are superior to CRT displays with a curved surface.

Curved CRT
A straight-edge (black strip) was placed against the monitor surface. The SMPTE pattern was displayed. Note the effect of monitor surfacecurvature on the straight line of the SMPTE pattern to the right of the straight-edge. The line looks “bowed”. This could affect the accuracy of a radiologist measuring the length of, for example, a bone.

Flat CRT
A straight-edge (black strip) was placed against the monitor surface. The SMPTE pattern was displayed. Note that there is no “bowing” of the line of the SMPTE pattern. The radiologist is more likely to obtain an accurate measure with the flat-surface CRT.

Viewing Conditions Viewing Distance = 50 cm; targets
subtended 2.3 deg visual angle All series of images were viewed twice
– Once with all ambient room lights off– Once with all ambient room lights on– The difference was ~ 10 cd/m2
There were 15 observers in each condition

JND Conclusions 16.5 cd/m2
– Flat surface = no significant difference lights on vs lights off
– Curved surface = lights on significantly worse performance (higher JND) than lights off
42.4 cd/m2
– Both flat & curved surfaces = lights on significantly worse performance than off
– Difference significantly greater for curved

Clinical Images
4 radiologists viewed a series of 10 clinical images side by side on the two monitors
All reported that they preferred the flat surface monitor because of lower reflections, but could not see any differences in terms of available diagnostic information

Conclusions The major benefit of the flat-surface CRT
appears to be a significant reduction in glare from reflections
It is unlikely that diagnostic performance is affected significantly
Reduced glare/reflections may reduce eye strain & fatigue - this may represent a significant benefit especially for radiologists viewing images for long periods of time
