Changing Display Functions
Concepts
The Display Function menu lets you select a display function (DF).
When you select the DICOM DF you can define the DICOM DF to be 
recalculated taking the ambient light into account. This can be a 
continuous recalculation (“Continuous DICOM ALC” on) or single 
recalculation (“Continuous DICOM ALC” off).
When you choose for a single recalculation,  the recalculation can 
be based on an illuminance of 0 lux (“Dark Room”) a preset value 
(“Preset”) or a single, real-time measurement (“Measured ALC”). 
Both Preset and Measured ALC correction values are determined by 
the selected reading room.
In the case of “Preset” or “Measured ALC” you must select a 
reading room that corresponds to the type of room the display is 
installed in. E.g. if the display is installed in a room where CT scans 
are observed, the “CT/MR/NM” reading room is the preferred 
selection.
The reading room is defined by 3 parameters: 
Maximum Ambient Light defines the maximum light 
allowed in this type of room. This value can be adjusted 
within certain limits determined by the selected reading 
room.
Preset Correction Value is the predefined correction value 
for this reading room. This value can be adjusted within 
certain limits determined by the selected reading room.
Measured ALC Value is the averaged measured ambient 
light for this reading room. It can be changed by executing 
the “Measure ALC Value” function.
The reading room parameters are pre-defined in the display 
according to the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in 
Medicine). However they can be changed within certain limits.
