NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the Food & Drug Administration 510(k) market clearance of the 21.3-inch MultiSync® MD211G3 medical diagnostic display for the displaying and viewing of digital mammography images for diagnosis by trained physicians.
This 3-megapixel medical diagnostic display was created for medical imaging and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in hospitals, doctor offices, urgent care centers and other healthcare facilities. The MD211G3 is factory calibrated to the DICOM grayscale function for luminance and includes a front sensor to maintain a calibrated brightness and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the display’s brightness based on existing lighting conditions. The DVI-D and DisplayPort connectors for video and two-port USB hub enable connectivity for any type of workstation.
“The FDA clearance of the MD211G3 is yet another tribute to NEC’s dedication in advancing the medical display market,” said Art Marshall, Product Manager for Professional Desktop and Medical Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “MultiSync MD Series displays are designed specifically for use in healthcare applications where reliable screen uniformity is required to be productive in diagnostic imaging and mammography.”
A partial list of features included in the MD211G3 is as follows:
- 21.3-inch IPS panel
- Factory calibrated to the DICOM grayscale function for luminance
- 2048 x 1536 native resolution
- 1450 cd/m² brightness (400 cd/m² calibrated)
- Digital uniformity correction reduces screen uniformity errors and compensates for differences in grayscale and luminance across the entire screen
- Small, built-in front sensor constantly monitors calibration and corrects for fluctuations of light output, maintaining the factory calibration throughout the life of the monitor
- GammaCompMD™ QA software for worry-free calibration and conformance testing to the DICOM standard
- 15.5-bit internal lookup table (LUT) provides for more finely detailed, high-definition rendering of color images and crisper display of even the most delicate shadings
- DVI-D and DisplayPort inputs and two-port USB hub
