In this article Jonathon Blocker writes about medical monitors.
Diagnostic medical monitors are available for every viewing purpose your hospital or clinic may have. Medical displays allow you to view ultrasound, endoscope, CT and MRI images, chest x rays, angiography images, mammography images, and come with black and white as well as color image capabilities. The type of medical display you ultimately choose will depend on the types of modalities used in your medical practice.
Dicom systems are used to standardize the grayscale tone of medical monitors. Medical monitors may vary a bit in terms of their grayscale tone, and so Dicom is used to bring all of the various monitors in use at your medical facility up to standard.
You do not want to skimp on the quality of your medical display for several reasons. If you have several monitors networked into your Dicom system, you will want to ensure that all of the medical monitors offer the same display of the medical image. Quality medical displays also help to prevent rendering irregularity over time, and allow you to see the delicate shadings in your medical images.
Shadings in medical images are very important, especially when it comes to chest x rays. Certain medical LCD monitors allow for ultra-high resolution, high contrast ratio and high luminance.
You will also want to consider the pixel size of the medical images that you need to display on your medical LCD. There are medical LCD displays ranging in size from one mega pixel all the way up to six mega pixels. The larger sizes are more appropriate for chest images and CT images, because you will be able to see the whole image displayed at once without any loss of resolution or quality of the image. The largest, six mega-pixel medical monitors, allow you to read digital images from different modalities side by size on the same screen, because it is set up in a wide-screen configuration.
Consider a medical LCD display that also offers ergonomic and green design features. There are many medical LCD monitors that allow the backlight to turn off when it is in screensaver mode. Many also allow you to adjust the height and the position of the stand for better viewing comfort.
How easy the medical display is to use and its cost are also important factors in your selection of a monitor. Choose one that is user friendly and and is inexpensive to operate over the life of the monitor.
Better medical monitors come with other useful features. You will want to check on the warranty, and how long it is and what it covers. Some of the best offer limited five year warranties.
