Barco Brings Out High-Performance Display Controller Optimized For Mammography And 3D Medical imaging specialist Barco has introduced a new graphics display controller, the MXRT-7300, specifically designed to speed up 3D imaging and digital mammography applications in today’s radiology departments.
Fitted with 1GB of memory and an ultra-fast GPU, Barco’s MXRT-7300 ensures smooth loading and ultra-fast processing of large datasets. The 10-bit display controller generates the complete grayscale data set with 1024 simultaneous levels of gray and over one billion colors. Besides the traditional DVI-I video outputs, the new MXRT-7300 can equally drive DisplayPort®, making for a perfect DVI- DisplayPort® transition board.
The MXRT-7300 is compatible with Windows® operating systems, including Windows 7. and comes standard with a 5-year warranty. The new board is available as an option with the company’s leading Coronis 5MP Mammo display system and is immediately available for commercial distribution.
“The adoption of specialized clinical applications and 3D imaging by PACS viewers puts a high demand on workstation display controllers,” explains Albert Xthona, Product Manager at Barco Medical. “With the brand-new MXRT-7300 graphics processor, our customers will enjoy an immediate performance improvement when manipulating large datasets in mammography, as well as an acceleration of OpenGL and DirectX functions increasingly common in high-end PACS environments,” Xthona continues.
Barco Launches Next Generation 5 MegaPixel Grayscale Display Medical display specialist Barco has launched a new generation of its Nio 5MP diagnostic display system. The new display system raises the bar with several technological advancements that lead to higher optical performance, more efficient workflow and a longer product lifetime.
One of the main advancements that have raised the diagnostic accuracy of the new Nio 5MP to the next level is the integration of a brand-new LCD panel based on IPS (In-plane switching) technology. Thanks to this new panel, grayscale images are presented with more brightness, improved contrast and better black uniformity, under any ambient light condition. Furthermore, the new panel sets itself apart with its extra high resolution of 2096 x 2800, while at the same time still supporting the 2048 x 2560 standard.
Besides more brightness, contrast and resolution, the new Nio 5MP also scores high on luminance uniformity. Responsible for this is the integrated uniformity correction function, which spreads the luminance more evenly over the entire screen.
The new Nio 5MP comes as a turnkey solution, including a high-speed display controller and an online system for calibration and Quality Assurance. With this smart ‘MediCal QAWeb’ system, users are guaranteed of maximum diagnostic confidence and uptime of their PACS display systems by means of automated DICOM calibration, Quality Assurance, display asset management, problem solving and reporting. Moreover, the system ensures worry-free compliance with regional QA standards like AAPM TG-18, MQSA and DIN6868-57.
“With the introduction of this new Nio 5MP, radiology departments can now opt for a versatile visualization solution that is optimized for the very latest, high-resolution grayscale applications, including chest, orthopedic, pediatric and mammography imaging on PACS,” explains Danny Deroo, Product Manager at Barco. “The product’s unique resolution of 2096 x 2800 allows users to view images from digital mammography systems in their native resolution with minimal need for scrolling. This results in accurate readings and improved workflow efficiency.”
