Projection Systems Designed Specifically for High Performance Medical Imaging

Solid-state light-source projectors have been developed that can be customized specifically to the requirements of the medical market.

Making its worldwide debut at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) held in Vienna, Austria, on March 4-8, 2010, was projectiondesign's (Fredrikstad, Norway) new FL32 wuxga medical. Fully compliant with Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) clinical review standards, the new projector offers all the expected benefits of projectiondesign's RealLED [light-emitting diode] technology--including ultra-low power consumption, low cost of ownership, and up to 100,000 hours of operational life, making the projector virtually maintenance-free.

Also on show in Vienna was projectiondesign's new F22 wuxga medical, which offers the same medical-market benefits, including DICOM-compliance, and preloaded medical calibration settings. These are all contained within the projector's small, stylish, industrially designed and unobtrusive cabinet enclosure.

Running "in the background”--but just as important--is version 2.0 of projectiondesign's ProNet asset-management software system, which offers remote monitoring and control of multiple projectors including automated calibration of any number of displays.

Anders Løkke, international marketing and communications manager at projectiondesign, explained, "projectiondesign recognizes the need to develop projectors with characteristics specifically designed for medical applications. The latest incarnations of this program are the FL32 medical and the F22 medical, both of which offer high resolution images to ensure optimum performance and display accuracy, along with full DICOM compliance and complete compatibility with PACS [picture archiving and communications systems] workflows. Exhibiting at an event like ECR gives us the chance to bring these products to the market and showcase our latest developments not just to our existing customers in the medical marketplace, but also to suppliers of PACS systems demonstrating how easy it is to incorporate our visualization technology into their designs."

Projectiondesign designs, manufactures, and markets a range of high performance projectors for professional, business, and consumer applications. Among its core markets are high-resolution scientific visualization and simulation, medical imaging, e-cinema, and public displays.
