Medical applications
DICOM mode
DICOM stands for “Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine“. The
DICOM standard enables the exchange and viewing of the same image infor-
mation on different output devices with the same inherent image content and
quality. Both NEC’s MULTEOS models and the MultiSync
®
20 series come with
the DICOM mode to allow the standardised reproduction of medical images.
The displays are therefore also ideal as a light box simulator in lecture halls or
medical demo rooms, to enable a reliable electronic system for viewings.
GammaCompMD QA compatibility
From July 2008, using the GammaComp MD software NEC’s MultiSync
®
20 series and MULTEOS series public displays will be able reproduce image
content calibrated to the DICOM standard, which is even more exact than the
user-defined DICOM mode.
This means, for example, the following functions can be performed:
White luminance calibration, including calibration of the colour
coordinates
Checking black/white luminance
Grey scale calibration according to DICOM, section 14, including
uploading the display’s look-up-table (LUT).
Common alignment of several screens (max.5) connected to a
workstation.
Furthermore, the GammaComp MD QA software allows reporting of all the
data and completed modifications made to installed displays, as well as
quality assurance (QA) in line with the IPEM/AAPM TG 18 and DINV6868-57
standards.
