  • Diagnostic regulation Monitors for Xrays

    Posted by PACSALOT on April 10, 2023 at 7:44 am

    When it comes to reading only Xrays, have any of you ever purchased a monitor to read off of that was just high def? (no calibration or calibration software)
     
    I’m sure there has to be a long forum topic on this already but the search didn’t produce anything for me (could be I’m just not searching the right phrase)
     
    Not trying to get another topic started if it’s already been beat to death somewhere else.

    I would probably look to this as a guide.

    Lots of reasons why final interpretation should not be done on standard desktop display.  The ACR guideline link DICOM DAN posted covers most. 
    A typical display does not have the internal sensors needed to maintain a steady luminance or white point, so it will fluctuate throughout the day.  
    This is why there are also high-end displays that are purpose-built for photography and video editing. Consumer desktops do not provide a reliable color/grayscale representation, nor do they guarantee luminance, so it’s a gamble.
