High-Resolution Diagnostic Displays Designed for Radiology

The displays are 510k- cleared for use in general review of images from every modality including computed tomography (CT), computed radiography/digital radiography (CR/DR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) studies.

The Sony LMD-DM series of high-luminance, high-contrast medical displays provides well-defined images for critical diagnoses through independent sub-pixel drive (ISD) technology. The technology’s use of three independent sub-pixels in a single pixel enables a 5 MP display to achieve a resolution up to 15 MP; the capability used with the 3 MP display allows for a maximum of 9MP.

The novel ISD technology, which provides an even higher resolution output, makes sure that users can plan for the future as imaging technology modalities evolve their systems with greater outputs. The new range of radiology monitors includes 5 MP diagnostic display for full-field digital mammography; 3 MP color display; 3 MP grayscale display; 2 MP color display; and 2 MP grayscale display.

“Now radiology users can experience and benefit from the breakthrough innovation in medical display technology that Sony has been successfully delivering to other areas of healthcare, including surgery,” said Lida D’Ambrosio, marketing manager for medical systems division, Sony Electronics. “This full line of new monitors further expands Sony’s footprint in radiology, giving the market a full range of high quality radiology displays from Sony that help enhance visualization.”

All Sony displays are created particularly for radiology review and are loaded with a high-luminance, high-contrast LCD panels that can simultaneously display 1024 shades of gray and deliver precise color reproduction. They provide color or grayscale results, can be used in landscape modes and portrait, and are fully Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) GSDF Part 14-conformant.
