Benefits:
PerfectLum 3.x Suite is a medical monitor quality assurance suite based on the following medical standards: NEMA DICOM part 14 GSDF, AAPM TG18, DIN 6868-57, DIN 6868-157, JESRA X-0093 and IEC 62563-1.
The medical monitor QA tool performs calibrations, as well as approval and conformity tests.
The consistency of all medical workstations is thus assured. Use of this software makes it possible for technical medical personnel to ensure adherence to national and international standards.
Hospitals and clinics subject their medical equipment to a quality management program. Nevertheless, displays used for diagnostics and observation are frequently not included in these quality assurance procedures.
No monitor, medical or otherwise, displays images perfectly. Poor image quality results in fatigue for the doctors, additional time spent on observation and, in some case, to incorrect diagnoses. Decisions of vital importance which are based on the observation of computer displays necessitate calibration and quality assurance.
The DICOM Standard was developed and published by NEMA in the USA (National Electrical Manufacturers
Association).
Part 14 of this standard describes how pixel values should be interpreted and displayed.
It also establishes a function which places pixel values in relationship to the displayed luminance values. This function is designated GSDF (gray scale display function).
In some countries, the legislators stipulate acceptance tests for diagnostic and observation displays when they’re installed, as well as constancy tests at regular intervals for quality assurance. Important QA standards include: AAPM TG18, DIN 6868-57, DIN 6868-157, JESRA X-0093 and IEC 62563-1.
Testing performed in accordance with these standards consist of visual and metrological tests which check for compliance with the requirements set forth in the standards.
