Kortrijk, Belgium, 24 June 2014 - Healthcare imaging specialist Barco announces the launch of Eonis 21" - a new 21-inch clinical review display offering a 40% higher calibrated luminance and almost twice the contrast ratio of the previous generation. With a 2MP resolution for viewing consistent, quality-controlled images for accurate review, Eonis 21" is the perfect display for image review in radiology and cardiology.

"The full-screen format - with the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels - has been specifically designed to meet today's requirements for image review in radiology and cardiology," comments Geert Carrein, Barco's VP Strategic Marketing. "Also, Eonis 21" comes with a unique front consistency sensor to guarantee consistent images over time and offers a 40% higher calibrated luminance, making it ideal for viewing standard PACS mages, RIS data, and image-enabled EMR."

More detail and consistency for higher productivity
Eonis 21" - featuring LED backlights - raises clinical performance to a higher level by delivering a superb brightness of 250 cd/m² (DICOM calibrated) as well as an excellent contrast ratio (1500:1) for viewing high-detail images quickly and efficiently and with fewer image manipulations. The LCD panel comes with IPS technology to ensure accurate image display under any viewing angle, allowing users to angle the display according to their own preference.

Built-in ambient light presets ensure perfect image quality in dark or bright viewing environments. Additionally, thanks to the front-of-screen consistency sensor - which automatically aligns image quality every time the display is switched on - Eonis 21" guarantees image consistency over time, providing a solid basis for confident image review.

Quality assurance and asset management
Like all of Barco's Eonis displays, Eonis 21" comes with Barco's MediCal QAWeb online service for quality assurance and remote asset management, which has proven its value in hospitals around the world. Providing automated quality assurance checks and detailed reports, MediCal QAWeb provides healthcare specialists with consistent image quality and healthcare IT professionals with powerful management tools for controlling their clinical display fleet centrally.

Flexible and ergonomic
Eonis 21" has some nice additional features too, such as flexible tilt and swivel capabilities and a space-saving design to make viewing more ergonomic. Additionally, positioning the 21-inch screen in portrait orientation provides radiologists with more flexibility when viewing skeletal radiography images or patient data. The high-bright LED backlights are also environmentally-friendly: they are mercury-free and reduce power consumption by no less than 20%. Barco's Eonis 21" is available for order now.
