Selecting the Optimum Digital Mammography Monitor
High-Resolution
High resolutions are required to display the correct
“information volume” of a digital mammography image.
High-Definition & High-Density
For the detection of mammary gland disorders which
appear as “distortion,” the monitor needs this required
performance in order to display the subtle structures.
Multi-Grayscale
For the detection of small tumors which appear as delicate
“density” differences, the monitor needs the correct display
of extremely subtle grayscale shadings.
DICOM Part 14 Compliance
with Quality Control Software
For unified image display between multiple monitors, the monitor is
required to adjust the characteristics to the grayscale standard DICOM
Part14 through calibration.
Simple Quality Control Procedures
Quality characteristics gradually change over time and therefore in order to
maintain a consistent display, the monitor needs to be quality-controllable.
Image Sharpness
For detection of subtle masses and calcifications, the
monitor needs to display the outlines of the images with a
high degree of sharpness.
Brightness Uniformity
For correct luminance display of delicate “density”
differences, the monitor needs uniformity in brightness
across the entire screen.
