Medical Center Leeuwarden is one of the most modern, quality driven hospitals in the Netherlands. It is a very well-known teaching hospital and takes pride in having the highest quality equipment. In line with their vision, the hospital selected Barco's clinical review displays for DICOM compliant viewing, in combination with MediCal QAWeb, Barco online service for Quality Assurance.
Dr Willy Hummel is a clinical physicist at the MCL and is known for her dedication to the quality assurance of medical display systems. After careful evaluation, Dr Hummel was very impressed with Barco's MediCal QAWeb software service, “I've been giving workshops about the quality assurance of medical displays for many years and was surprised by its functionality level and ease of use. It guarantees maximum confidence and uptime of the display systems at all times, which is of the utmost importance for any hospital.” MediCal QAWeb is an online software service that includes smart features for intervention-free calibration, quality assurance and display asset management throughout the entire hospital enterprise.
The hospital was looking for a uniform display system that could be used in all departments and in both locations. Dr Willy Hummel continues, “We did a careful evaluation of various manufacturers and Barco came out as the best solution for us. The combination of their clinical review displays with MediCal QAWeb software guarantees us DICOM compliant images at all times. The software program also offers a functionality to adjust the light output of the display in order to match the ambient light, a feature that assures us even more dependable readings. Upon special request, Barco also increased the remote capabilities of MediCal QAWeb to meet our high standard requirements for clinical review displays.”
Barco's MDRC series is a full line of clinical review displays for DICOM-compliant viewing at the point of patient care. Equipped with professional LCD-technology and a built-in DICOM Look-Up Table, the MDRC presents medical images with more accurate grayscales, better contrast and a wider viewing angle than conventional computer monitors.
