Kortrijk, Belgium, 3 March 2015 - Healthcare imaging specialist Barco announces the launch of a new diagnostic display system: Nio 5MP LED. FDA-cleared for radiology and mammography and featuring a number of unique image-enhancing technologies, the 5MP display provides excellent image quality for confident diagnoses.
"The Nio 5MP LED fits into Barco's new family of diagnostic display systems, featuring a clean and modern design and a smaller desktop footprint for more reading comfort," comments Lynda Domogalla, VP Product Marketing for Barco's Healthcare division. "But most importantly, just like all of Barco's diagnostic displays, the Nio 5MP LED has been designed to offer multiple clinical, operational, and financial benefits. It helps enhance visualization of PACS or breast images, boosting radiologist productivity and performance." 

Enhancing clinical performance 

Barco's bright LED backlights help radiologists see many more shades of gray. Furthermore, Nio 5MP LED comes with a unique front-of-screen sensor, which works seamlessly with Barco's online MediCal QAWeb solution for automated Quality Assurance and on-demand calibration. Additionally, Uniform Luminance Technology makes subtle details more noticeable more quickly, resulting in reduced windowing and leveling time. 

Nio 5MP LED offers a high-bright LCD panel with a display resolution of 2560 x 2048 pixels. Featuring a DICOM calibrated luminance of 500 cd/m² throughout its entire lifetime, the new display system is perfect for diagnostic imaging. It offers accurate grayscales and a high contrast ratio (1200:1) to ensure confident image reading. As part of the Nio family, the new 5MP display comes with integrated Front Sensor and Uniform Luminance Technology, ensuring fast power-up and long-term luminance stability and uniformity. 

Maximum return on investment
Like all of Barco's LED backlit diagnostic displays, Nio 5MP LED is an excellent investment for healthcare organizations, as it increases throughput, saves energy, and has an extended lifespan. The on-demand image quality checks ensure maximum uptime of the display. Additionally, Barco's LED backlights produce less heat, requiring less cooling and reducing the overall operational costs for the hospital. 

Come see us at ECR
Barco will showcase its brand-new diagnostic display portfolio at ECR, 4-8 March, in Vienna, booth B201. On display are the new Nio 5MP LED and Barco's amazing Coronis UnitiTM display system for viewing of both PACS and breast images.
