Display technology has changed dramatically since the inception of digital radiography and continues to change today as new technologies evolve and monitor characteristics improve. Deciding which monitor is the most appropriate for primary interpretation versus other reading tasks is critical but often confusing. Trying to decide what parameters are important to consider when purchasing a display and then how to maintain the optimal performance of those factors in a QA/QC program once purchased can be daunting.
The goal off this workshop is to provide an overview of modern displays for use in the clinical environment, examining performance expectations, QA/QC, and some basic aspects of the human visual system (psychophysics) that come into play when considering which displays should be used clinically.
The session will review the basics of available display types, performance and QA, expectations and requirements, clinical implementation, basic visual psychophysics as applied to display evaluation and image interpretation, and some of the ergonomic considerations involved in optimizing the reading room for viewing digital images.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the basics of medical image display technology.
2. Learn what display parameters are important for clinical display QA/QC.
3. Appreciate the role of the human visual system and its interaction with the display medium.
4. Understand some of the basic ergonomic principles for healthful human-computer interaction.
