5 Megapixel Monochrome Display For Mammography Diagnosis
The high-resolution monitor has 2048 x 2560 pixels and a luminance of 750 cd/m2 (candelas per square meter). Two independently functional sensors are used to continuously monitor the luminance and grayscale levels. The "Integrated Stability Sensor" (ISS) monitors the backlight at the center of the display while the "Integrated Consistency Sensor" (ICS) reviews performance on the front right corner without obstructing the user's view of the display. This redundant monitoring system ensures consistently high image quality and conformance with medical imaging standards such as Dicom (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). The blue tinted CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight is optimally suited to the human visual system, which is especially sensitive to light in this color range. This enables diagnoses with maximum sharpness and minimum eye fatigue.
Like all medical displays from Siemens, the new SMD 21510 D grayscale display is delivered pre-calibrated and is therefore ready for use immediately out of the box. With five preset 12-bit LUTs (Look-Up Tables), the monitor can be installed quickly and easily and can also be adapted to difficult lighting environments. The monitor data are stored in the LUTs thus making it possible to use almost any graphic card. The new display controller electronics supports both 8-bit and 10-bit DVI input signals, thus opening up a large selection of graphic cards and making the display well suited for use in complex applications. With the quality software, SMfit, and external photometers, the SMD 21510 D settings can be tailored to the local environment, the luminance values can be measured and, if necessary, the internal sensors can be readjusted to their optimal levels.
Background information
In June 2007, the Eizo Nanao Corporation, headquartered in Hakusan, Japan, and Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D), Nuremberg, reached an agreement on the purchase of Siemens medical monitors business. The transaction is subject to approval by the responsible authorities and is scheduled for completion in 2007.
