Selecting the optimum monitor for clinical review
Display Differs Depending Upon Grayscale Tones
Standard monitors for general use have grayscale tone characteristics which may vary even between the same
models. In the medical field, monitors must display medical images properly and consistently. Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 specifies a display function for grayscale which is now used as a
standard to adjust the grayscale tone characteristics of monitors used in the medical field.
Clinical Review Monitors with Calibration to the DICOM Part 14 Standard
Medical images can now be reviewed with patient charting applications. However, it is costly for hospitals to install
high-performance, DICOM calibration compatible medical display monitors throughout the entire hospital.
With the bundled RadiCS LE quality control software installed, a self-diagnosis function using a built-in
backlight sensor periodically checks the brightness of FlexScan MX-Series monitors. When a change in the
brightness is detected, the self-calibration function performs a simplified calibration compliant with the
DICOM Part 14 standard to correct grayscale tones, brightness and color coordinates of the monitor.
