Diagnostic Efficacy of Handheld Devices for Emergency Radiologic Consultation (original) (raw)

agnosis and secondary consultation. Small screen size, inherent low resolution of display, low contrast ratio, poor connectivity, slow data transfer, security issues, and minimal inherent memory have been cited as limitations to the display of radiologic images on PDAs, and concern has been expressed over radiologist acceptance [3]. Nonetheless, technologic developments are being introduced to improve the clinical potential. The latest software allows retrieval of DICOM and JPEG images [6, 7]. Efficient wireless transmission protocols ease the transmission and retrieval of medical data on display devices that operate with the Bluetooth protocol [8] for local transmission and highbandwidth networks, such as code division multiple access, for longer distances [9]. The latest hardware has improved spatial and contrast resolution, processing speed, and memory size [10].
