RADBOOK 2015136 ◼ DISPLAYS / PRINTERS Calibration – when, where and how DICOM calibration is one of the defining characteristics of a diagnostic display. DICOM specifies when, where, and how to calibrate a display. DICOM recom- mends regular calibration, in the center of the display with a 10% target and 20% gray surround, using a calibrated photometer. Dome introduced revolutionary Auto-Calibrating System When Dome introduced the first medical imaging flat-panel displays, we knew that auto calibration was a key feature that would dramatically improve dis- play quality and reliability. In 2001, Dome introduced the first auto-calibrating, liquid-crystal, display system. DICOM calibration required a photometer to measure and characterize the display’s behavior. This is the first and most critical step in the calibration process. To perform auto-calibration, we knew we would have to compro- mise when, where, or how this characterization was done. We believed that where and how must not be compromised, because that directly affected the display characterization. Instead, we compromised when. WhatmakesDomedisplaysunique: LifetimeCalibration • Dome displays are fully factory characterized using a NIST-traceable photometer and true DICOM test patterns,providinguncompromisingaccuracy. • The characterization data is stored in the panel and allows the display to remain in perfect DICOM cali- brationforlife. • Noadditionalfieldcalibrationiseverneeded! Hospitalbenefits: 1.Ergonomicsolution • With Dome displays you can simply open the box, plugitin,andyou’reready! • Noirritatingnoisefromfans(foractivecooling). • No reflective material and no front“power-on”LED shiningdirectlyintheeyesoftheradiologist.
