Grayscale Displays

Medical grayscale displays have become the primary viewing medium for all forms of radiology images. Their ability to emit very high brightness and excellent spatial resolution are an improvement to CRT-based technology

Grayscale LCD panels also provide other quality and performance advantages, including:

• Digital versus analog signaling
• Brightness stability over extend periods of time
• Improved luminance uniformity

Richardson's medical imaging solutions utilize grayscale LCDs in four basic spatial resolutions:

5MP

With high resolution of (2048 x 2560) and nominal brightness (700 cd/m²), 5 Mega-Pixel displays are primarily used in diagnostic review of mammography images and should always meet the requirements of FDA 510K. They are also an excellent medium for viewing images generated by a CR or DR unit.

3MP

The combination of high resolution (1536 x 2048), high brightness (800 cd/m²), and affordability have made 3 Mega-Pixel grayscale displays the worldwide "Gold standard" for diagnostic review of large and small matrix studies.

2MP

Affordability, adequate resolution (1600 x 1200), and high brightness (900 cd/m²) make 2 Mega-Pixel grayscale displays an economical option to their 3MP counterparts. These LCDs are perfect for ER and trauma settings, and are also well suited to orthopedics, neurology, and cardiology applications.

1MP

With low-resolution (1280 x 1024) and high brightness, 1 Mega-Pixel grayscale LCDs are primarily used as replacements for legacy CRTs. Because they can be wall mounted, or , they are also widely used in surgical suites.
