Thanks to the DICOM® hue curve, the MX216-SB accurately displays radiological images. The monitor reproduces images that are clear and rich in contrast.
Thanks to the high 2 Megapixels (colour) resolution, a strong contrast ratio of 1500:1 and stable brightness of up to 500 cd/m2, the monitor offers excellent image quality. Even the differences between the finest details are shown – regardless of your viewing angle. This is a great advantage if multiple physicians are looking at the screen.
The hybrid gamma PXL functionality automatically differentiates between monochrome and colour images, pixel by pixel. This creates a hybrid display on which each pixel is displayed with the ideal tone value. In turn, this achieves a greater degree of precision and reliability than for conventional planar detection methods.
LCD panels with a high brightness level tend to have more blurry image rendering thanks to over-framing than would be possible in comparison with an acquired exposure. Therefore, EIZO offers blur reduction anchored in monitor hardware. It retrieves details lost in the contours on the screen, meaning that the image is rendered as clearly as possible.
Colour rendering is controlled by a 13 bit look-up table (LUT), up to 10 bits of which are available in the DisplayPort connection. This produces a resolution with a maximum of 1 billion colour tones. The rendering characteristic and fine structures required for diagnostics can therefore be precisely identified.
The monitor shines thanks to its high colour purity and uniform illumination. This is down to the Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE), which corrects imbalances automatically, pixel by pixel. Grey and colour tones of radiological and other medical images are correctly rendered over the entire display. This is vital for diagnostics.
The precise calibration of white point and tone value characteristic curve is provided by an integrated front sensor (IFS). This measures the brightness and grayscales and calibrates the monitor autonomously according to the DICOM standard. The sensor works automatically, without restricting the field of vision of the monitor. You can save the costs, time, and effort of maintenance and rely on a consistently balanced image quality.
The display properties, in particular brightness and contrast, are suited to the creation of image rendering systems compliant with DIN 6868-157. The DICOM® GSDF characteristic is already precisely configured in the factory. This means that greyscales are consistent, which is vital for diagnostics.
Radiologists face an increasing amount of information on their screens, as modalities become increasingly digitalized. But imaging procedures now no longer need to be so complex, thanks to the unique Work-and-Flow technology from EIZO, featuring new functions developed specially to meet the requirements of radiologists. The RadiForce MX216-SB and RadiCS-LE software solution enable you to benefit from the Work-and-Flow functions.
Brightness and DICOM® characteristic curve can be checked using the RadiCS LE software and automatically calibrated according to the factory default settings. The integrated sensor in the device takes care of this. The calibration of other tone value curves, such as CIE, is also possible with RadiCS LE.
The MX216-SB can be operated in both portrait and landscape format. The ‘Image Rotation Plus’ function, included in the RadiCS LE software provided, rotates the displayed image automatically depending on the position of the monitor. (This function only works if supported by the graphics board.)
In addition, the flexible stand guarantees optimal ergonomics. You can tilt the monitor or lower it down to desk level.
It doesn't get easier than this: You can connect most of your devices, such as PC, laptop or cameras directly to the monitor because the monitor hasa number of different ports. That makes your daily work easier.
Thanks to the signal input and output, you can link several RadiForce monitors through their DisplayPort interface. This means that you can realise multi-monitor solutions with the greatest of ease – without labourious and excessive cabling.
EIZO measures and adjusts each tone of grey carefully so that the monitors comply with the DICOM® standard when delivered from the factory. The result is a particularly consistent gradation of grey tones, allowing for optimal radiological clinical reviews.
A sensor for the backlight permanently determines the luminance of the monitor. The benefit: The defined and calibrated values are rendered exactly just seconds after the monitor is turned on and remain constant during the entire period of use. The sensor is invisibly integrated in the monitor.
The EIZO MED-XN51LP graphics card supports the properties, functions, and settings of the RadiForce MX216-SB optimally. It enables precise diagnostics and can control several monitors simultaneously. EIZO offers technical support and a warranty service for all graphics cards. Therefore, we recommend using EIZO graphics cards.
EIZO grants a five-year warranty. This is possible thanks to the highly developed production process based on a simple principle of success: sophisticated and innovative monitor technology, made from high-end materials.
Go to the warranty overviewEIZO has developed the RadiCS software specifically for quality assurance for image display devices in the RadiForce range. It offers extensive tests and automatic alignment to guarantee constant and consistent image reproduction on all RadiForce LCD monitors, but also supports screens from other manufacturers. The software automatically executes test images and helps to perform measurements and assessments in accordance with the guidelines in a cost-effective and time-effective manner. For example, measurement results are automatically transferred to the documentation and archived and can be centrally managed using the optional RadiNET Pro software. A calendar with a reminder function ensures timely checks are performed. A suitable measurement device is required to measure the luminance, including veiling luminance. Measured values from various luminance meters are automatically read by RadiCS.
Depending on the body region / methods, different EIZO RadiForce screens are suitable for image display systems in accordance with DIN 6868-157. The EIZO RadiCS quality assurance software is divided into classes I to VIII. The following table shows a classification of suitable screens in this regard.
Note: An acceptance test is necessary for each image display system for an evaluation in accordance with DIN 6868-157.
In accordance with DIN 6868-157, different minimum requirements are placed on image display devices depending on the body region / method.
