State-of-the-art imaging displays are a must for the healthcare arena, and today have an increasing capacity to offer large, high-resolution displays, color accuracy, calibrated brightness, advanced connectivity, optimized workflow and high contrast, just to name a few. A variety of vendors continue to improve the technology to better display imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, positron emission tomography (PET), mammography and ultrasound, and to ensure screens remain DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) compliant.

The Barco Coronis Uniti display system was voted a Silver Winner for innovation at the 2015 Edison Awards, held April 23 at The Capitale in New York City. For 28 years, the Edison Awards have honored the best in innovation and excellence in the development of new products and services.

Multiple studies and products were presented at the 2014 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference in December about emerging technologies in breast imaging, with a focus on how they will affect women who have dense breasts. Most researchers have been comparing the utility of mammography screening versus tomosynthesis.

Healthcare visualization vendor Barco developed a set of productivity tools that work with its high-end diagnostic display systems to increase focus during reading sessions, improve reading ergonomics and accelerate radiologists’ workflow.

Barco announced the launch of Eonis 21” — a new 21-inch clinical review display offering a 40 percent higher calibrated luminance and almost twice the contrast ratio of the previous generation.
