About display functions
Native, uncorrected panels will display all grayscale/color levels with equal luminance increments. Studies
have shown however, that in medical images certain grayscale/color parts contain more relevant informa-
tion than others. To respond to these conclusions, display functions have been defined. These functions
emphasize on these parts containing crucial information by correcting the native panel behavior.
The available display functions for your monitor are:
•
Native: The native panel behavior will not be corrected
•
DICOM: DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an international standard that
was developed to improve the quality and communication of digital images in radiology. In short,
the DICOM gamma function results in more visible grayscales in the images. It is recommended to
select the DICOM gamma function for most medical viewing applications. There are 4 different DICOM
curves:
- DICOM 1: DICOM output curve suitable for an ambient light level of approximately 20 Lux.
- DICOM 2: DICOM output curve suitable for an ambient light level of approximately 80 Lux.
- DICOM 3: DICOM output curve suitable for an ambient light level of approximately 180 Lux.
- DICOM 4: DICOM output curve suitable for an ambient light level of approximately 350 Lux.
•
CAL.DICOM: This DICOM gamma function allows the comparison with displays having different char-
acteristics by applying the same identical transfer curve in the range of 2:200 cd/m².
•
TG3-PMS: This special gamma correction of the native grayscale of the monitor is used for compati-
bility with LCD and CRT medical monitors.
To select a display function
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
