1. A method of standardizing the quality of computed radiographic images comprising the steps of: distributing calibration templates having portions simulating the radiographic characteristics of various human body parts to a plurality of radiology facilities having computed radiography equipment, at each of the radiology facilities: exposing a computed radiography imaging plate with X-rays passing through the calibration template, digitally processing the computed radiography imaging plate to obtain an image viewable by a radiologist, and transmitting digital data of the computed radiography image over a digital data transmission line to a remote site, evaluating images created using received digital data to ascertain deviations from a standard, and responsive to evaluation of the transmitted data, adjusting the computed radiography equipment to minimize discrepancies between the processed image and the standard image.
