What kind of monitor to choose for a dental office?

Compliance of the monitors with the Ministry of Health Regulation of 2017

"For dental pantomography and tomography, the requirements for descriptive and review stations are the same as for tomography and angiography."

Review position
(medical position in a dental office):

1. At least 1 monitor;
2. minimum resolution: 1 megapixel;
3. Minimum working screen diagonal: 45 cm;
4. Minimum luminance: 100 cd/m2;
5. minimum contrast: 100/1;

REQUIREMENTS FOR INTRAORAL IMAGES:

In addition to tests of X-ray equipment, tests should be performed on monitors used to present medical images.

This does not apply to monitors used exclusively for the presentation of medical images in the field of intraoral dentistry.

Despite the not-too-exorbitant requirements for the image parameters of monitors dedicated to dental offices, medical equipment manufacturers offer much more advanced solutions allowing for much more detailed analysis of images, faster diagnosis and better working comfort. The proposed medical monitors have diagonal sizes from 21.5" to 27", resolutions from 2 MPix to 8 MPix. They have the ability to display both color and monochrome images compliant with the DICOM Part 14 standard. Some of them have built-in special sensors that automatically control image parameters. This ensures that the image is displayed correctly, that an accurate diagnosis is made, and that high resolution and appropriate grayscale are maintained.

BARCO Eonis 22" MDRC-2222 and Eonis 24" MDRC-2324

• Medical color monitors that also display monochrome images in compliance with the DICOM Part 14 standard.
• Front Consistancy Sensor - a sensor built into the front edge of the housing, which automatically controls and possibly corrects the image parameters, such as the appropriate grayscale.
• Protective glass that allows disinfection by available means
• Ambient light presets, predefined settings of high-resolution image parameters for working in different lighting conditions.

JUSHA CR240G

• A medical color monitor that also allows the display of monochrome images, and 3D rendering, according to the DICOM Part 14 standard.
• Full-screen brightness equalization SLE controls brightness levels across the entire screen surface point by point ensuring the required uniformity according to DICOM standard guidelines.
• Ins-Guard monitors the brightness level at the center of the matrix in real time through an installed sensor(backlight sensor).
• The new-generation LCD panels allowed high brightness (max. 600 cd/m2, and 550 cd/m2 with backlight alignment) and a contrast ratio of 1:1000. This gives the effect of feeling the depth of the different layers of the image.

Jusha CR240G:

Diagonal and resolution: 24", 2 MP (1200 x 1600)
Brightness and contrast: 600 cd/m², 1000:1
Precalibrated to DICOM Part14
Signal interface: DVI-D x 1, DisplayPort x 1, HDMI x 1, USB 2.0 HUB

LG 27HJ712C-W

• Color medical monitors that also display monochrome images in compliance withDICOM Part 14.
• Monitor brightness stabilization systems that maintain preset image parameters over a long-term usage cycle.
• Matrix backlight unevenness compensation systems.
• Flicker Safe system that eliminates the flickering effect caused by the matrix backlight systems (eye fatigue reduction).
• Reader Mode, predefined settings of image parameters for work in office-type applications (word processors, spreadsheets, databases), reduction of visual fatigue.
• Hardware calibration with True Color Pro software.

We draw your special attention to the requirement for periodic inspection (at least once every 12 months):

• Correctness of DICOM curve mapping,
• The unevenness of the backlighting of the screens,
• monitors designed for descriptive (diagnostic) work and calibrated according to the DICOM Part 14 standard.

All the monitors presented have the relevant medical device certifications, guaranteeing the correct display of high-resolution images obtained from commissioned tests. The above solutions are offered with an 8% VAT rate.
