A new, ultra high-definition, eight-megapixel display has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD USA) 510(k) market clearance.

The medical-grade widescreen review display is intended for medical imaging, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) radiology reviews, and surgical suite applications. The display is factory calibrated to the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) grayscale function for luminance.

The MD322C8 NEC Display Solutions (Itasca, IL, USA) mid-brightness display includes an Open Pluggable Specification (OPS)-compliant option slot that can be used for NEC 3 Gbit/s High-Definition Serial Digital Interface (HD-SDI) input cards.

The display features automatic luminance control, simultaneous input viewing of two or four sources simultaneously, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, native resolution of 3840 x 2160, brightness of 350 cd/m², 14-bit 3-D internal programmable lookup tables (LUTs), two 10-bit inputs, four 10-bit High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) inputs, two Digital Visual Interface (DVI-D) digital-only inputs, a USB hub, and GammaCompMD quality assurance client software.

Art Marshall, product manager for professional desktop and medical displays at NEC Display, said, “The MD322C8 display is a high resolution color clinical display that delivers stellar picture quality,” Solutions. It gives medical imaging professionals a tool that enhances accuracy and productivity.”

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
