| Abstract |
Summaries of papers presented at a conference on the classification of digital chest radiographs for patients with pneumoconioses held in Washington D.C., USA, held on March 12-13 2008. The international group of scientists in attendance heard from representatives of the International Labour Organization (ILO), NIOSH and academia. Expert presenters described current and future issues in digital radiography, especially as they relate to classification. Specific sessions were held on image acquisition, image presentation, file interchange and developing recommendations for advancing digital classification for pneumoconioses. |
