About
Native, uncorrected panels will display all grayscale/color levels with luminance increments that are not optimal for crucial diagnostic information. Studies have shown however, that in medical images certain grayscale/color parts contain more diagnostic information then others. To respond to these conclusions, display functions have been defined. These functions emphasize these parts containing crucial diagnostic information by correcting the native panel behavior.
The available display functions are:
- Native: The native display panel behavior will not be corrected.
- sRGB: The sRGB display function is designed to match typical home and office viewing conditions. It is widely used in most computer applications.
- DICOM: DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an international standard that was developed to improve the quality and communication of digital images in radiology. In short, the DICOM display function results in more visible grayscales in the images. Barco recommends selecting the DICOM display function for most medical viewing applications.
- User Calibration: This display function will be automatically selected when display functions are defined by QAWeb.
- Gamma 1.8 or 2.2: Select one of these display functions in case the display is to replace a CRT display with a gamma of 1.8 or 2.2 respectively.
- Test: For Barco service purposes only.
Note: The settings of the display must be adapted to suit the requirements of the visualization software. In case of doubt, please contact the vendor of the visualization software.
