Imaging Display Systems Offer Brightness, Contrast

The installment marks a new breakthrough for Barco's (Kortrijk, Belgium).

The second generation of Barco's Coronis line's key developments include breakthrough Diagnostic Luminance technology, which provides excellent brightness and contrast on high-resolution color displays. Moreover, the new Coronis introduced a new line of ATI-powered display controllers that ensure ultra-fast loading, roaming, and handling. Finally, the new system has a brand-new, web-based softcopy quality assurance (QA) concept, bringing unparalleled transparency to the QA routine.

These display systems have met the quality standards applied by the Georgetown University Hospital radiology department. "The display systems are a key component of our PACS. Our diagnostic capabilities depend heavily on their ability to accurately and clearly present the patient's images,” explained Dr. Carlos Jamis-Dow, director of imaging technology at Georgetown University Hospital. "We particularly like the ability to read any study--conventional radiography, ultrasound, multiplanar and 3D [three-dimensional] CT [computed tomography], MR [magnetic resonance], or PET [positron emission tomography]/CT--on any workstation in the department because all our systems, color or grayscale, are 3MP and they all have high luminance and high contrast ratios. We also like the constant monitoring and alerting capabilities of MediCal QAWeb, which assures us that our displays are always within DICOM [digital imaging and communications in medicine] compliance and that, if not, our IT [information technology] team will be notified of any non-compliant units.”
