Digital Mammography Monitors [RadiForce]

The detection of subtle calcifications and masses requires accurate and correct display of each pixel. EIZO's high-performance digital mammography monitors offer high fidelity images with a choice of glare and anti-glare panels according to the usage environment.

SELECTING THE OPTIMUM DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY MONITOR

High-Resolution for Delicate Grayscale Shadings

When selecting a monitor, it’s important to consider the “information volume” of the medical images to be displayed.

High-Resolution for Delicate Grayscale Shadings

"Information volume” of a digital mammography image should exceed 5 million pixels. When a lower resolution monitor displays this "information volume," the monitor stretches the information forcing the mosaic to appear as shadings. With a 2048 x 2560 resolution or 5.24 million pixels, the stretching effect is minimized and the mosaic becomes suitable for rendering subtle masses and calcifications, within the mammography image.

High-Definition & High-Density

For the detection of mammary gland disorders which appear as “distortion,” the monitor needs this required performance in order to display the subtle structures.

Multi-Grayscale

For the detection of small tumors which appear as delicate “density” differences, the monitor needs the correct display of extremely subtle grayscale shadings.

Image Sharpness

For detection of subtle masses and calcifications, the monitor needs to display the outlines of the images with a high degree of sharpness.

Brightness Uniformity

For correct luminance display of delicate “density” differences, the monitor needs uniformity in brightness across the entire screen.

DICOM Part 14 Compliance with Quality Control Software

For unified image display between multiple monitors, the monitor is required to adjust the characteristics to the grayscale standard DICOM Part 14 through calibration.

Simple Quality Control Procedures

Quality characteristics gradually change over time and therefore in order to maintain a consistent display, the monitor needs to be quality-controllable.
