To reduce cost, more and more radiologic institutions began to change from film copies to lower-priced paper prints for documenting radiologic findings.Therefore, laser paper printers are frequently used as an alternative to duplicating film though the use of printed images is not yet widespread. The aim of this study was to compare the practical value of high-resolution paper printer with dry film copies for detecting small solitary pulmonary nodules （SPNs）.展开更多
