Challenge #3 in radiology imaging: how to diagnose with more confidence?

Standard displays lack the ability to optimize the quality of diagnostic images. Ideally, display technologies should include image-enhancing features to provide radiologists with the accuracy they need to improve detection probability. Here's a checklist of display features that help you diagnose with more confidence:

#1. Sharp image quality, incl. contrast, color/grayscale accuracy, luminance uniformity & stability, is a first prerequisite to achieve the best possible image on screen

#2. The higher the display brightness (esp. calibrated brightness), the more Just Noticeable Differences can be perceived in order to see more subtle details

#3. A high-precision integrated luminance photometer in combination with QA and calibration software is vital to ensure stable, DICOM-compliant images over time

#4. Displays with built-in features to enhance the brightness and contrast of images - e.g. Barco's SpotView™ & SpotView™ Mag - increase focus on details that require extra attention

#5. A non-reflective glass cover allows for easy cleaning and removal of finger prints, dust, etc. to protect the image quality at all times

#6. Choose a display that is 100% ACR compliant across the screen. Not all displays can guarantee a luminance ratio of at least 350 cd/m2 when images are viewed off center

Meet Coronis Fusion

To tackle the issue of reading ergonomics, Barco recently upgraded its Coronis Fusion display systems. The new generation has been designed to help radiologists do more, in a better way. Click here for more information about the 4MP or 6MP version.
