Standard monitors
for general use have
grayscale tone
characteristics
which may even vary
between the same
models. In the
medical field,
monitors must
display medical
images properly 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.
Clinical Review
Monitors with
Calibration to the
DICOM Part 14
Standard
Medical images can
now be reviewed with
patient charting
applications.
However, it is
costly for hospitals
to install
high-performance,
DICOM calibration
compatible medical
display monitors
throughout the
entire hospital.
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,
brightness and color
coordinates of the
monitor.
FlexScan M-Series
offer DICOM Part 14
simulated modes.
At
startup or upon wakeup, the EIZO patented drift
correction function quickly stabilizes the
brightness level. In addition, a sensor measures
the backlight brightness and compensates for
brightness fluctuations caused by the ambient
temperature and the passage of time. This brightness
stabilization function is EIZO patented
technology (Japan patent numbers 3171808 and
3193315, US patent number 6188380).
The
S2411W-M includes
the ArcSwing 2 stand
which features a
curved range of
movement for easy,
flexible
positioning. The
height adjustable
stand included with
the other monitors
offers height, tilt,
and swivel
adjustment, and
pivots for portrait
mode.
EIZO
and its authorized
distributors offer a
five-year limited
warranty for all
FlexScan M-Series
monitors.
The
product shall be
free from defects in
material and
workmanship for a
period of five (5)
years, but subject
to the usage time
being 30,000 hours
or less from the
date of purchase.
The warranty period
for the LCD panel
and backlight is
limited to three (3)
years from the date
of purchase.
