Obtaining the Best Display Quality

Follow the guidelines in this section to select your screen in the best possible manner and to set it up properly for radiology purposes.

Monitor Quality
The screen affects the perceived quality of the images acquired with your sensor. If the screen is set up badly or is inherently of a bad quality, chances are that the gray levels necessary for the interpretation of images cannot be displayed in a satisfactory manner. Keep in mind that an entry-level screen can seem excellent color-wise and present serious shortcomings with regards to the gray levels. A monitor with a 17-inch screen works best for displaying images and using a word processor. Preferably, select a monitor with optimal dot size, or pitch, and a contrast of 400 to 1 minimum. Flat-panel displays are most sensible to variations and it is necessary to select at least a mid-range screen to obtain a quality suitable for radiology.

KODAK RVG Digital Radiography Systems Installation Guide (CS4100_en)

27

Understanding the Sensor

Checking Display Quality

Use the Test Pattern window to measure the gray level display capabilities of a monitor and determine if a monitor is capable of displaying images of sufficient quality for a diagnosis. To open the Test Pattern window, select Options > Test pattern. Double-click the image to view it in maximum display mode, scale 1:1.

Figure 22

Test Pattern Window

Circles and Lines

The circles and lines indicate the distortion level of the display. If the screen distorts the images, the circles are displayed as ellipses and the lines are displayed as curves.

Understanding the Sensor

Horizontal and Vertical Grids

The horizontal and vertical grids measure the display resolution of the screen. The grid, shown in Figure 23, is formed of four series of four cells, from top to bottom.

Horizontal series no. 1, black and white

Vertical series no. 2, black and white

Horizontal series no. 3, gray

Vertical series no. 4, gray 25 lp/mm 12 lp/mm 6 lp/mm 3 lp/mm

Figure 23

Horizontal and Vertical Grids

Displayed from right to left are resolutions of 3, 6, 12 and 25 lp/mm. The grids are displayed horizontally, then vertically. Black and white is high contrast and gray is low contrast. Make sure you can clearly distinguish all of the lines in maximum display mode in the Kodak dental imaging software. If the cells containing the thinnest lines seem to shimmer or show irregularities, this means the screen is unable to provide a full resolution display of the image.

KODAK RVG Digital Radiography Systems Installation Guide (CS4100_en)

29

Understanding the Sensor

Gray Scales
The gray scales give an indication of the perceptibility of the gray levels on the screen. The gray level scale is shown in Figure 24.
Series no. 1, on a black background Series no. 2, a gray background Series no. 3, a white background

Good perceptibility

Poor perceptibility

Figure 24

Test Pattern Window Gray Levels

Make sure you can see the square in each cell. The more squares are visible towards the right, for each of the three series, the better the screen. The background color is constant for each of the series. On the other hand, as you move from left to right, the difference between the background of the cell and the central square decreases. Use this tool to obtain the optimum contrast, brightness and color temperature, if available. Not all screens display the squares on the right side, but a good adjustment can optimize perceptibility. Adjust the screen so that your perception of the gray levels is offset as far as possible to the right, while ensuring that it progresses together on the three series. For example, do not settle for an adjustment showing all the squares of series no. 3 on the white background, and none or few of the squares of series no. 1.

Maintaining the Sensor

Range of Gray Levels

The range of gray levels indicates the quality of the display chain. Make sure the gray levels display continuous from black to white without showing any vertical bands differentiating the different levels of gray.

If you can distinguish several vertical bands or if the test pattern is displayed with a green tint, this means the following:

The color adjustment is not defined for 24 or 32 bits The graphics board is a poor quality board The screen is a poor quality screen. This is often the case with flat panel displays. The cable between the computer and the screen is too long or of poor quality The flat panel display is not connected to the computer using a digital connection (DVI)

Maintaining the Sensor

For routine cleaning and maintenance of the sensor use the guidelines in the users guide.

Connecting the Sensor

Connecting the Sensor

Important
Use the USB 2 hub supplied with the sensor.

Using the USB 2 hub supplied with the kit, connect the sensor to a USB 2 port of the computer. Make sure that the USB connector supports the USB 2.0 high speed standard and that each USB port supplies 500 mA, otherwise you cannot operate the sensor. The 5-meter cable supplied with the hub permits a greater distance between the computer and the chair. If the computer is close to the operating area, you can connect the sensor without going through the USB hub supplied with the sensor. If no hub is used, make sure the maximum distance between the remote control and the computer is more than 5 meters. In any case, respect the security guideline and maintain 1.5 meters between the patient and the computer. If your computer does not have USB 2.0 ports use a PCI card or a PCMCIA card. Use boards from renowned manufacturers whose specifications comply with the requirements mentioned above. Use PCMCIA cards with an external power supply. If the USB 2.0 port does not supply enough power, use a powered hub between the computer port and the sensor. Contact your IT vendor for more information.

Important
Do not use the USB connectors available on the keyboard or front side of the computer, as these connectors are often unable to supply sufficient power for the proper functioning of the sensor.
