A 10-bit or 12-bit gray scale is provided in commercial laser film digitizers. The true contrast resolution on the digitized image within a laser spot area of 200 microns in diameter is limited by both the quantum mottle and instrumentation noise. In this report, we investigated the mean value, standard deviation, and adjacent pixel correlation coefficient on a calibrated step wedge film with two laser digitizers. The results were disappointing, because we found that the evaluated contrast information is inferior to the manufacturers' specifications. On the output side, the brightnesses of different gray levels from a clinical monitor were measured with a narrow angle luminance probe and evaluated by a brief human perception study. In addition, the implications for teleradiology applications are discussed. |
