Eizo MED3MP-PPP User Manual

 

 
Cypress, CA, November 17, 2003 – Eizo Nanao Technologies Inc. today introduced the addition 
of two new monitors to its RadiForce series of medical display systems, the 5 megapixel 
RadiForce G51 and the 3 megapixel RadiForce G31. To ensure accurate diagnosis, EIZO has 
equipped these models with an 11.5-bit Look-Up Table for a palette of 3,061 grayscale tones from 
which 1,024 can be displayed simultaneously. With the 
release of the RadiForce G51 and G31, EIZO is pleased to 
announce that it will begin offering the MED Series of 
graphics boards alongside the VREngine Series it has been 
supplying since last year for bundling with RadiForce 
monitors. The combination of a high resolution monitor, 
graphics board, and optional DICOM-compliant 
calibration software presents a complete imaging system 
for mammography, CR (computed radiology), and DR 
(digital radiology). 
 
The RadiForce G51 becomes the first 5 megapixel grayscale monitor in the RadiForce series. The 
21.3” screen, 0.165 mm pixel pitch, and 2048 x 2560 resolution produces extremely detailed 
images to aid in accurate diagnosis. EIZO is also making this model available in both clearbase 
and bluebase versions so radiologists can work in their preferred environment. Brightness is 700 
cd/m² and contrast ratio 600:1 for comfortable viewing in ambient lighting conditions. The 
RadiForce G31 has a native resolution of 1536 x 2048, 0.207 mm pixel pitch 700 cd/m² 
brightness and 600:1 contrast ratio. Both models have 170° viewing angles so more than one 
person can see the screen at once. 
 
With an 11.5-bit palette (3,061 tones) and 10-bit simultaneous display (1,024 tones), the 
RadiForce G51 and G31 provided grayscale accuracy for optimum diagnostic confidence. To 
minimize space requirements, both monitors incorporate a thin bezel design of only 24 mm per 
side along all four sides. The decreased bezel size makes comparing images easier when two units 
or more units are placed side-by-side. The stands have a height adjustment range of 82 mm, and 
the panels tilt and swivel 40° and 70° respectively. The panels also contain built-in power supply 
units, and comply with VESA mounting standards. 
 
For brightness stability when turning the monitors on or coming out of power save mode, EIZO 
includes its own patented¹ drift correction circuit. This circuit also detects changes in the backlight 
temperatures and automatically adjusts the divergence to the brightness default setting or any level 
defined by the user. 
 
DICOM Compliance with Calibration Kit GX1 
EIZO offers the optional Calibration Kit GX1 consisting of a Fresnel lens and calibration 
software, which ensures compliance with the DICOM 14 (Digital Imaging and Communications
