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
Part 14 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.
