1 Display of mammograms on a CRT Hans Roehrig, Ph.D. William J. Dallas, Ph.D. Elizabeth Krupinski, Ph.D. Jiahua Fan, M.S. University of Arizona This work was supported by 2 Grants from NIH
2 In most radiological imaging workstations the monochrome cathode ray tube (CRT) is the electronic display of choice. The CRT offers the best performance; it is the most highly developed, mature and reliable display in common use. Unfortunately, because of limited spatial resolution and because of limited dynamic range, the efficacy of soft-copy versus hard-copy diagnosis has been challenged.
3
4 It has been shown that, when the images are displayspecifically processed before the display to compensate for the reduced MTF of the CRT and its reduced dynamic range, current high-resolution monochrome CRT display systems will present all the information in mammograms without interaction by the reader 1,2. The basic idea is to perform an operation on the image before it is displayed that will counteract the degradation that will come from the action of the display system s MTF.
5 This paper discusses display specific processing with respect to spatial resolution (MTF) for the specific case of Mammography. The display specific processing is based on the evaluation of the CRT image quality with the aid of a CCD camera.
6 The CCD Camera was used to image test-stimuli like squarewave patterns and single lines to determine the MTF It was also used to take images of some of the processed and unprocessed images as they appeared on the CRT for the purpose of close inspection and analysis.
7 We use the Wiener-Helstrom filtering method to prepare the image for display. Denoting the original image u(x,y), its Fourier transform is U(ξ,η). Modeling the display as an approximately linear shift-invariant system, the output will be degraded on the display by the optical transfer function OTF(ξ,η) according to the equation below, where N represents the Fourier spectral density of the noise. V ( ξ, η) = U ( ξ, η)[ OTF( ξ, η) + N( ξ, η)] The use of the Wiener filter in this form comes from the fact that the actual restoration we are attempting is variations in the point spread function, not in the image.
8 Because the OTF is positive over the entire region of frequency space, we may replace it by its absolute value, the modulation transfer function (MTF). In actual practice, we replace the noise power spectral density by a constant that we adjust as a parameter in the filter. We make an additional simplification and assume the MTF to be separable so that we can actually perform the measurements and the filtering as 1-D operations. MTFξ ( ξ ) MTFη ( η) F( ξ, η) = MTF ( ξ ) N MTF ( η) N ξ + Caveat: There is subtle ringing in the processed image resulting from discontinuities in the unprocessed image, especially at the borders. The MTF of the CRT reduces ringing. Total removal of ringing requires extra work. ξ η + η

The larger n, the larger the estimate of the noise, and the lower the boost on the high frequency.

17 Results of a Pilot ROC Study Mean ROC Az % 50% 75% 100% Overall Unprocessed Processed Lesion Contrast Performance as measured by ROC Az (Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve) was higher at all contrast levels for the images processed for the monitor MTF compared to the unprocessed versions, but the difference was not significant.
18 The data are based on 2 observers viewing sets of 250 images in both the unprocessed and MTF-correction processed images. Lesion contrasts are at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (original images). Performance as measured by ROC Az (Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve) was higher at all contrast levels for the MTF-correction processed images compared to the unprocessed versions. With only 2 observers at this time, none of the conditions reached statistical significance, although the early trends suggest that with more readers some of the contrast level conditions (50%, 75% and overall) are likely to reach statistical significance.
19 Conclusion Image processing by using the Wiener-Helstrom filtering method compensates for the blurring caused by the MTF of the CRT. Initial results indicate that this compensation is clinically useful. Display specific processing must also include consideration for the reduced dynamic range, which is not included in this study but will be implemented in the future.
