To ensure diagnostic confidence on softcopy medical viewing systems, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), Task Group 18 has laid down quality standards to practicing medical physicists, engineers, researchers and radiologists.
These standards outline acceptance testing, which checks whether the display solution meets the requirements, as well as quality control, which specifies periodic check-ups to see if the system maintains its constancy.
To assist administrators in their efforts to make display systems comply with the AAPM TG18 standard, Barco has developed a plug-in to be incorporated into its MediCal QA software. In this way, these additional tasks can be performed user-friendly and almost intervention-free, thereby drastically reducing system administrator's workload and the total life cycle cost of softcopy display systems.
