Review[A systematic review of digital radiography for the screening and recognition of pneumoconiosis].
To conduct a systematic review of studies reporting the comparison of digital radiography (DR) with conventional film-screen radiograph (FSR) in the screening and recognition of pneumoconiosis worldwide, to evaluate the feasibility of DR in the screening and recognition of pneumoconiosis, to analyze the similarity and difference between DR and FSR, to explore the main challenge to utilize DR in the future. ⋯ Although there are still some imperfections in the existent researches to solve, DR can be equivalent to FSR in screening and recognition of pneumoconiosis. It is necessary to develop technical specifications of DR and standard digital chest radiographs for pneumoconiosis including both hard copy and soft copy, and develop an evaluation criterion on chest images of DR.
