Projecting an Image in the DICOM SIM Mode

In the DICOM simulation mode (hereinafter referred to as “DICOM SIM”), this projector can project a monochrome medical image such as an X ray radiography, CT image, MRI image, etc. in the tone similar to the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard. Typically, to project the image according to the DICOM standard, it requires the grayscale tone correction using a luminance meter according to the environment. In this projector, there are 21 types of tone settings for various ambient lights. You can correct the tone in a simplified manner by selecting an appropriate test chart. It is suited to project an image in a medical lecture, academic conference, in-hospital conference, etc.

Important: This projector is not the display monitor for a medical image. It cannot be used

for the radiological image reading or medical examination.

• It is recommended to check the tone everytime when using this projector since it does not have the tone correction and calibration functions against the secular change.

• It may take approximately 30 minutes until the projection brightness of this projector becomes stabled.
