RSNA 2007 IN DEPTH RSNA360.HealthImaging.com Daily News · Business · Technology TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW Displays–It’s All in the Details As the demand for digital imaging grows, so too do expectations that display technology will keeps pushing the envelope. Vendors stepping up to the plate this year are o ering bigger, brighter and sharper displays with more options and streamlined calibration and maintenance. The result, higher-resolution images allow for more accurate diagnostic information. Most companies are focused on clarifying the images through enhanced contrast and integration into DICOM systems. Panels with higher resolution and luminance, and more QA monitoring applications and online services are sure to take the spotlight at RSNA. Advantech (Booth 3151) is launching its POC-195 point-of-care terminal with a high-contrast 19-inch LCD. Advantech says its POC-195 is sealed to protect the system from water and dust, and has on/off buttons that are seamlessly integrated onto the front panel for easy cleaning. The system has a book light, an optional alarm light, a trim knob and a touchscreen. Barco (Booth 4714) is showing an upgrade to their display series and a new version of online services. Barco has extended NIO Color 3MP, its portfolio of display solutions with a new color display system, which was developed for digital radiology applications. The solution can be used for various applications, such as 3D PACS, 3D echo, ultrasound, orthopedic imaging, CAD, image fusion, nuclear medicine and PET, according to Barco. The company is also displaying Medical QAWeb, an online service for PACS monitors, which provides DICOM calibration, quality assurance, display asset management, problem solving and reporting. Double Black Imaging (DBI) (Booth 3782) is releasing its new P-Series line of LCDs. The P-Series monitors include: a 2MP monochrome and color; a 3MP monochrome and color; and a 5MP monochrome LCD for mammography. The line features strong brightness levels on each LCD, digital uniformity control, 12-bit processing, a retractable front sensor for DICOM calibration, a backlight sensor for luminance control and bonded protective panels. DBI also is highlighting a new 46-inch color LCD for operating room and ER environments, which is fan-less and has a rugged metal enclosure. Barco NIO Colo r 3MP Eizo: Siemens SM t software for displays Eizo GmbH Display Technologies (Booth 4735), formerly Siemens AG prior to Eizo Nanao Corp. purchasing Siemens A&D’s medical monitor business this year, is showcasing a line of Siemens monitors, including a new 5 MP display, SMD 21510 D, and two new tools for medical displays. The SMD 21510 D, a 21-inch monochrome new ﬁve MP display for medical applications, is suited for mammography diagnosis and PACS applications. The new high-resolution monitor has 2048 x 2560 pixels and a luminance of 750 cd/m2, and can be used with standard or high performance graphic cards. The company will also show two new tools, SMﬁt Total Care software and the SMﬁt Site manager software, which incorporate the display parameters of monitors and can be set to a uniform quality. The SMﬁt Site Manager Software allows remote maintenance of installed displays. Matrox Graphics (Booth 1954) is introducing its Matrox Equinox Series of graphics extension technology for operating room (OR) planning, control and HealthImaging.com 82 N O V E M B E R 2 0 07 | Health Imaging & IT http://rsna360.HealthImaging.com http://HealthImaging.com
