Selecting the Optimum Monitor for Clinical Review
Display Differs Depending Upon Grayscale Tones
Standard monitors for general office use have grayscale tone characteristics which may vary even between the same
models. In the medical field, monitors must display medical images accurately and consistently. Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 specifies a display function for grayscale which is now used as a
standard to adjust the grayscale tone characteristics of monitors used in the medical field.

Cost-Efficiency Demanded Under Clinical Review Applications
Medical images can now be reviewed with clinical record applications. However, it is costly for hospitals to install
high-performance, DICOM calibration compatible medical display monitors throughout the entire hospital, and a cost-efficient
solution is demanded for clinical review application usage environment.

FlexScan MX-Series with Calibration to the DICOM Part 14 Compliant and Superior Cost Performance
With the bundled RadiCS LE quality control software installed, a self-diagnosis function using a built-in backlight sensor
periodically checks the brightness of FlexScan MX-Series monitors. When a change in the brightness is detected, the
self-calibration function performs a simplified calibration compliant with the DICOM Part 14 standard to correct grayscale
tones and brightness of the monitor. Superior cost performance will be achieved when installing a large number of monitors
compliant to DICOM Part 14 in clinical review application usage environment.

Widescreen format with 16:10 aspect ratio gives you more horizontal space.
4 Megapixel Bezel-Less Widescreen
Displaying 4 megapixel information volume on one monitor improves
your working efficiency and cost performance. No bezels in between
requires less eye movement
with less stress as compared
with dual 2 MP monitors.

The Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) function provides optimum
backlight luminance uniformity which is considered difficult to attain
due to the characteristics of LCD monitors,
especially with larger screen sizes.

More Comfortable Working Space with Widescreen
With a 16:10 aspect ratio, you can view patient charts and DICOM
medical images with no overlap. The increased horizontal space this
affords means you can also view whole intestinal images along with the
navigation window.
