Color Display For Enhanced Hybrid Imaging

Building on four decades of experience in medical display technology, Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc. (Alpharetta, GA, USA) announces the release of the SCD 21310 3MP. The display features all the elements of Siemens' fully automated stability system for digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) compliance including: a unique integrated stability system (ISS) sensor; embedded DICOM-compliant look-up tables. And compatibility with Siemens quality assurance software SMfit ACT. The SCD 21310 is characterized and calibrated at the factory using high-precision instruments to ensure an optimized response and consistent image quality for every display.

With five internal look-up tables and automatic calibration to a calculated luminance level, the display can be easily adapted to any reading environment. "The 3MP Color LCD [liquid crystal display] is designed by our engineers in Germany, using the most accurate measurement instruments available,” said Christine Seymour, business manager, Display Technologies, Siemens Energy & Automation. "The display constantly conforms to DICOM and that means tangible benefits for anyone deploying a PACS [picture archiving communications system] via productivity gains, as well as the peace of mind that image quality will remain constant.”

Calibration data is stored directly in all Siemens displays, so there is no need to recalibrate the SCD 21310 when workstations, graphics controllers, or other components are replaced, or when the display's location or ambient lighting is changed.

The use of open standard video communication also gives the user more freedom when selecting display controllers, allowing use of non-proprietary graphics cards. Siemens provides a constant luminance guarantee over a typical service life of 10,000 hours, corresponding to approximately five years. The backlight of the new display has a service life of approximately 50,000 hours.
