Abstract
Attempts to utilize the techniques of digital processing in the field of diagnostic radiology were first made more than 20 years ago. At that time, efforts were made to digitize the information contained in the radiographic film, with the view — in addition to reducing the space requirement for filing purposes — of making possible a subsequent manipulation of the radiographic image. It was, however, recognized that the point-by-point scanning of the X-ray image required for the optical analog-digital conversion was unable to provide any information that was not already contained within the image. The point-by-point digital transformation, therefore, must always result in a loss of information.
