The Sony Electronics Medical Systems division demonstrated an array of medical-grade monitors at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) meeting in Long Beach, Calif, including the LMD-DM50, LMD-DM30C, and LMD-DM30 models.
“Radiology professionals need high image quality for documenting procedures and reviewing cases,” said Lida Trupp, marketing manager for Sony Electronics’ Medical Systems division. “Sony continues to develop innovative medical display technologies for radiology that can be used in the radiology department and throughout the hospital.”
According to the company, the greyscale displays shown at SIIM employ Sub-Pixel-Drive technology, which has been FDA-cleared for use in diagnosis of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) exams involving visualization of micro-calcifications. With Sub-Pixel-Drive software, the LMD-DM30 outputs 9MP resolution, while the 5MP LMD-DM50 achieves 15MP resolution. The technology is also suitable for CR, DR, CT, and MR.
The LMD-DM30C offers a 3MP display and is intended for display of color and monochrome images such as PET/CT, nuclear medicine, cardiology, and ultrasound. The monitor includes full DICOM GSDF Part 14 conformance, automatic calibration, and remote monitoring and maintenance capabilities, and is suited for medical imaging and radiology department PACS.
