Barco 2mp Manual Suplementar
“We selected the displays tailored to the
specific needs of the radiologist and the
studies he or she needs to view,” says
Mr. Vilar. All displays are portrait dual-
heads, except for the color displays. The
Chief Radiologist adds: “Barco’s MFCD-
1219 1MP color displays are used for
ultrasound studies and color studies with
Doppler where resolution is rather low
compared to other imaging applications.
For viewing bone studies, CT or MR,
Coronis 2MP displays offer sufficient
resolution. C
ORONIS
®
3MP grayscale
displays are used for images where
a higher resolution is needed, such as
thorax images.”
“At a University hospital, there are
always residents. A wide viewing
angle is strongly appreciated when
two or three physicians are simulta-
neously viewing cases on the same
display.”
Diagnostic displays: vital links in the
digital chain
Diagnostic displays, a HIS, a RIS/PACS,
etc. are all part of a hospital’s advanced
digital chain. But for radiologists, the
displays are vital links in the chain.
“Barco’s reputation to deliver state-
of-the-art display technology was
obvious at the radiology congresses
we attended,” remarks Dr. Vilar. “We
especially value the built-in I-G
UARD
®
sensor and Barco’s softcopy QA software,
which automatically assure a stable and
consistent image quality over time and
across displays. The fact that no human
intervention is needed for calibration
and QA is particularly appreciated at
the emergency department, where the
displays need to be operational 24/7.”
“Barco’s medical displays are widely
accepted by the radiology staff. My
colleagues sometimes complain about
issues related to their job,” mentions
J. Vilar, “but I have never heard any
complaints about our display systems.”
Exceptional image accuracy
What the radiologists like most are the
sharpness and crispness of the images
offered by the Barco displays. As a thorax
expert, Dr. José Vilar emphasizes: “On
thorax images, Barco’s displays allow
to easily identify patterns of interstitial
lung disease, incipient heart failures and
small nodules. Also in skeleton-muscle
studies, especially for rheumatologic
pathologies, you can rely on the displays’
excellent contrast, offering a superior
image quality, similar to conventional
film.”
Dr. Vilar is also very satisfied with the
viewing angle. “At a University hospital,
there are always residents.
