Title: Modeling of Analog Film-File Radiographic Retrievals A Markov Chain
Abstract:Existing retrieval models for radiology film libraries have not incorporated the influence of previous retrievals.

A Markov chain model for the retrieval rates from an analog film library is proposed as a means of considering this effect.A Markov chain model was developed for the retrieval rates of an analog film library. The Markov chain model required identification of the states of the Markov chain, the required one-step transition probabilities between states, and the initial state probabilities.The results from the Markov chain model compared favorably with the 30-day measurements (25,775 retrievals), but a large enough sample to determine a statistical confidence level was not considered.Read More
