About display functions
Native, uncorrected panels will display all grayscale/color levels with luminance increments that are not
optimal for crucial diagnostic information. Studies have shown however, that in medical images certain
grayscale/color parts contain more diagnostic information then others. To respond to these conclusions,
display functions have been defined. These functions emphasize on these parts containing crucial diag-
nostic information by correcting the native panel behavior.
Native
If you select Native, the native panel behavior will
not be corrected.
Dynamic Gamma 1.8
Dynamic Gamma 2.2
These are gamma functions that are shifted to take
into account the non-zero luminance of an LCD
panel when driven with a “black” signal. They are
especially useful in CT applications to improve the
perception of low Hounsfield values.
DICOM DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications
in Medicine) is an international standard that
was developed to improve the quality and
communication of digital images in radiology.
In short, the DICOM display function results in
more visible grayscales in the images. Barco
recommends selecting the DICOM display function
for most medical viewing applications.
User
This display function will be automatically selected
when display functions are defined by MediCal
QAWeb.
Gamma 1.8
Gamma 2.2
Select one of these display functions in case the
display is to replace a CRT display with a gamma
of 1.8 or 2.2 respectively.
To select a display function:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Calibration menu.
3. Enter the Display Function submenu.
4. Select one of the available display functions and confirm.
5.14 Amb ient Light Compensation (ALC)
About ALC
Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) can only be enabled on your display when the DI-
COM dis play function is selected. Therefore, please refer to "Display functions", page
24 to correctly set the display function.
When ALC is enabled, the DICOM display function will be recalculated taking a preset ambient light cor-
rection value into account. This value is determined by the selected reading room. Therefore, it is also
important to select a realistic reading room when enabling ALC. This can be done by following the instruc-
tions in "Reading rooms", page 25.
To enable/disable ALC:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
