Display ergonomics are as vital as image quality to ensure productive reading sessions. That’s why a good diagnostic display gives you full control not only of your screen’s brightness but also of the environmental lighting.

Reading dozens of studies per day in an environment with low levels of ambient light, radiologists often experience eye fatigue. This is indicated by 70% of radiologists in a 2014 study by The MarkeTech Group. That’s exactly why a diagnostic display system should give you full control of the ambient lighting in a reading room.
