Abstract
The viewbox luminance and viewing room light level are important parameters in a medical film display, but these parameters have not had much attentio n. Spatial variations and too much room illumination can mask real signal o r create the false perception of a signal. This presentation looks at how s cotopic light sources and dark-adapted radiologists may identify more real diseases. Copyright (C) 1999 by W.B. Saunders Company.
