| description | Purpose To evaluate whether the image quality of chest radiographs obtained using a camera-type
portable X-ray device is appropriate for clinical practice by comparing them with traditional mobile
digital X-ray devices.
Materials and Methods Eighty-six patients who visited our emergency department and underwent
endotracheal intubation, central venous catheterization, or nasogastric tube insertion were included
in the study. Two radiologists scored images captured with traditional mobile devices before insertion
and those captured with camera-type devices after insertion. Identification of the inserted instruments
was evaluated on a 5-point scale, and the overall image quality was evaluated on a total of 20
points scale. Results The identification score of the instruments was 4.67 ± 0.71. The overall image quality score
was 19.70 ± 0.72 and 15.02 ± 3.31 (p < 0.001) for the mobile and camera-type devices, respectively.
The scores of the camera-type device were significantly lower than those of the mobile device in terms
of the detailed items of respiratory motion artifacts, trachea and bronchus, pulmonary vessels, posterior
cardiac blood vessels, thoracic intervertebral disc space, subdiaphragmatic vessels, and diaphragm
(p = 0.013 for the item of diaphragm, p < 0.001 for the other detailed items).
Conclusion Although caution is required for general diagnostic purposes as image quality degrades,
a camera-type device can be used to evaluate the inserted instruments in chest radiographs. |
