Selecting the Optimum
Digital Mammography Monitor

High-Resolution
High resolutions are required to display the correct
“information volume” of a digital mammography image.

Multi-Grayscale
For the detection of small tumors which appear as delicate
Requirement
“density” differences, the monitor needs the correct display

of extremely subtle grayscale shadings.
Image Sharpness
For detection of subtle masses and calcifications, the

high degree of sharpness.
Brightness Uniformity
For correct luminance display of delicate “density”

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
Part 14 through calibration.

Requirement
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.

With ScreenManager Pro for Medical utility software

backlight to turn off when the screen saver is activated and
the monitor’s backlight to turn on when the computer comes
out of the screen saver mode. This function helps to reduce
power consumption when the monitor is used for a prolonged
period of time.
When selecting a monitor, it’s important to consider the “information
volume” of the medical images to be displayed.

Requirement
Calibration Mode Selection
Many current monitors use anti-glare panels, which have a waffled
surface to diffuse the reflection of surrounding light. However, this
also diffuses the light from the monitor’s backlight, which affects the
outline of an image, causing a viewing strain on the observer. With a
distinctive glare panel, there is no diffused reflection by the waffled
surface, and the outline of the image is displayed more clearly.
Therefore, the subtle images such as calcification and masses will be
easier to observe reducing the strain on the observer.
Selectable with the front panel buttons, the CAL Switch function
allows for various calibration modes of different modalities such as
digital mammography, CR, and CT images. Furthermore, with
ScreenManager Pro for Medical installed, auto mode settings can be
made with the Auto CAL Switch function.

Compatibility with Various Graphics Boards
stretches the information forcing the mosaic to appear as shadings.
With a 2048 x 2560 resolution or 5.24 million pixels, the stretching
effect is minimized and the mosaic becomes suitable for rendering
subtle masses and calcifications, within the mammography image.
Supports various input signals for compatibility with a wide
range of graphics boards so the user can select the board
according to budget and performance requirements. This
includes single link and dual link signals, as well as packed-
pixel signal for users requiring 12-bit or 10-bit simultaneous
display.

Quality Control of Digital Mammography Monitor
As with the use of film mammography, image quality testing of
the monitor at installation and regularly during use should be
carried out. This ensures that the monitor maintains a consistent
display of quality digital mammography.
EIZO's easy-to-use RadiCS quality control
software performs precise calibration conforming
to DICOM Part 14 and enables quality control
complying with ACR Practice Guideline and
other QC standard for digital mammography
monitors.

Quality in Digital Mammography”
A guideline established by the American College of Radiology
(ACR) in cooperation with the American Association of
Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), Radiological Society of North
